Why there are no star ratings here
A 4.5-star score can't be checked, and almost every review site rates everything above 3.5. You don't need a rating. You need to know whether a tool pays for itself.
Real workflow, 30 days
Every tool runs a job a real business does, not a demo. Every run is logged.
One number
Cost per hour saved: the monthly price divided by the hours it gives back.
Published rules
Kept, Probation or Cut, decided by rules you can read and test yourself.
Cuts get published
A site where everything passes is an ad catalog. Tools that fail say so here.
Get each verdict when it lands
One email per verdict, with the numbers. No roundups, no sponsored picks.
