Editorial policy and method
How Feature Duel decides what to cover, how pages are researched, and what we will never do.
Rounds
Every duel has the same five rounds: onboarding, core workflow, integrations, pricing at a stated team size, and support. Each round is scored from documentation, pricing pages, changelogs and verified user reports. Rounds are fixed before the duel starts so the structure cannot be bent toward either side.
Winner
The overall winner is the tool that takes the most rounds; when it is 3–2 we say so and explain which rounds matter for which reader.
What we never do
- Sell a ranking, a score, a placement or a positive sentence.
- Claim personal testing we did not perform.
- Publish numbers without a source and a date.
- Let a commission rate decide coverage.
- Use invented reviewers, invented testimonials or stock "customer" quotes.
Frequently asked
Do you personally use every product you cover?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Where a page is based on first-hand use it says so, with the plan and the dates. Otherwise it is built from documentation, pricing history and verified user reports, and it says that too.
Can a vendor pay to be included or to improve a score?
No. Vendors can send corrections with sources, which we check like any other evidence.
How often are pages updated?
Prices and features are re-checked on a schedule and each page shows its last-checked date. Readers’ corrections are handled as they arrive.
