How we review
Each review is written by the Optimly team. We use the tools we review, talk to teams that have evaluated or bought them, and verify pricing and feature claims against each vendor's public site on a fixed date. We disclose the verification date on every page and flag where our view of a tool's strengths overlaps with our own positioning.
We don't take affiliate fees or sponsorships from the tools we review. We do compete with most of them in the AI brand visibility category, which is disclosed on every individual review page. Cross-check facts on each vendor's site before purchasing — markets in this category move quickly.
