Capability matrix

Grouped by area. Every state carries a word as well as a colour, and anything the catalog has not established stays neutral rather than counting as a missing feature.

Listed by one tool only

10 capabilities are published by a single tool in this set. That does not mean the others lack them — only that the catalog has not established an answer either way.

Pros & cons

Strengths and compromises

Each tool's published strengths and the compromises that come with them, as supplied — not scored or ranked against each other. Longer lists fold; nothing is left out.

YouScan

Pricing

What each one costs

Published pricing signals only. Where a tool has not established a price, that is what it says — never a zero and never "free".
