Honest comparisons

Vendor comparison pages are usually propaganda. These try not to be.

Every page leads with what the other tool does better, marks our real gaps in red, and dates every incumbent fact.

Our own prices render from the same config as the pricing page, so nothing here can quietly go stale.
