Editorial policy
The rules every writer and editor at Reviews Now follows.
Where our facts come from
- Prices, plans and features come from each company's own website, with the date we checked them.
- Test results come from tests we ran ourselves, on accounts we paid for.
- User feedback comes from public review sites. We summarise it in our own words, show the rating and review count, and link to the source.
- If a company's website doesn't state something, we say "Not stated" rather than guess.
Scores and rankings
- Every tool in a category is scored on the same five parts using the same test.
- The overall score is the average of the five parts, rounded to the nearest half star.
- Best-of rankings follow the scores. When two tools tie, we explain which buyer each suits.
Independence
Reviews Now isn't an affiliate site. We don't use affiliate links, we don't sell ads or sponsored reviews, and no company pays to be reviewed, scored or ranked. We don't earn money from the tools we cover.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it and note the change in the page's update history. Anyone can ask for a correction through "Make your case" on any review, or on our contact page.
Updates
Every review and list shows when prices were last checked and when the page was updated. We rerun the affected parts of a test when a tool changes how it works.
How we write
- Plain, specific language. No hype.
- We say who a tool is for and who should skip it.
- We show bad results as clearly as good ones.
Make your case
Think we got a review wrong?
If you use a tool we reviewed, or work for the company, email us with what you saw. We'll look at the evidence and update the review if it changes our findings.
Want your company reviewed?
Send us your product, website and the category it fits. We'll test it the same way as every other tool. It's free, and we can't promise a date or a score.
