How we compare apps
Prices from the source
Every price comes from the maker's own site or the Mac App Store, and each page shows the date it was checked.
Our apps are labelled
When one of the apps is ours, the page says so at the top and near every download button.
No made-up tests
We run our own apps on a real Mac. Other apps are described from their makers' pages, and we say which is which.
Free options first
If macOS or a free app already does the job, we say that before anything you would pay for.
