Methodology

How we research platforms

• Every fact on a platform page (pricing, trial, networks, database size) comes from that vendor's own website. Sources are linked at the bottom of each review.
• When a vendor doesn't publish a number, we write "Not public" instead of guessing.
• Creator database sizes are the vendor's own claims; we don't audit them.
• Best-of lists rank platforms by fit for that specific use case, not by overall size.
• We track 76 platforms. Data last checked September 2026.

Spotted outdated pricing or a missing platform? Vendors and readers can request corrections.
