OUR EDITORIAL APPROACH
For people comparing,
not endlessly browsing.
Each guide checks search intent, practical terms, total basket cost, timing, cancellation and support. The aim is a calmer decision before a reader leaves for a merchant.
01
Map intent
We start from the real search question behind the purchase.
02
Read terms
Delivery, refund, renewal and cancellation details are treated as part of the product.
03
Compare alternatives
A recommendation should survive one sensible comparison.
