How we write these
The same rules apply to every comparison.
- Every figure about another product carries the date we checked it and a link to where we read it.
- Each page says where the other tool is the better choice, in plain terms.
- We compare what is published. We do not test other products on your audio, so try both on a file of your own.
- Prices and plans change. If a figure is out of date, tell us and we will correct the page.
