Scoring methodology
Decided by the published ProductsVerdict scoring rubric — value (25%), performance (20%), features (20%), usability (15%), support (10%) and trust (10%) — applied to vendor documentation, published pricing, independent third-party testing where it exists, and editorial judgement. ProductsVerdict does not run its own testing lab; where a figure comes from a third party it is attributed. See /how-we-test.
