How We Review Products

Transparency is the foundation of trust. Here's exactly how we research, compare, and score every product on Claravado.

Updated March 2026·Our methodology

1. Research

We identify every major player in a category — not just the well-known ones. Pricing, features, and limitations are verified directly from vendor websites and official documentation.

2. Compare

Products are evaluated against a consistent set of criteria relevant to the category. We build comparison tables with real data — never AI-hallucinated specs.

3. Score

Each product receives a score from 1-10 based on value for money, feature set, ease of use, customer support quality, and unique differentiators. Scores are weighted by what matters most to buyers.

4. Verify

Before publishing, we double-check all pricing and feature claims. We update our guides regularly — if a product changes its pricing or features, we update our review.

About Affiliate Links

Some links on Claravado are affiliate links — if you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This helps fund our research and keep the site running. However, affiliate relationships never influence our rankings or scores. Products are evaluated on their merits alone. We regularly recommend products that have no affiliate program.
