Our Methodology
At Compare Rightly, we are committed to providing transparent, unbiased, and educational comparisons. This page explains our research methodology and evaluation process to help you understand how our comparisons are created.
Our Core Principles
Educational Focus
Our primary goal is to educate and inform users about different software tools and services. We aim to help you understand the key differences, strengths, and limitations of various options so you can make informed decisions based on your specific needs.
Unbiased Analysis
We strive to maintain objectivity in all our comparisons. Our evaluations are based on publicly available information, official documentation, and standardized criteria rather than personal preferences or financial incentives.
Transparency
We believe in being transparent about our process, sources, and limitations. We clearly indicate when information may be incomplete or when we recommend consulting official sources for the most current details.
