How we source these
- Pricing comes from the vendor’s own page, never a review aggregator. When we checked, aggregators were quoting one competitor roughly a year stale — and two other sources gave mutually contradictory ranges, both wrong.
- Every quotation carries its source and its date. App-store and Capterra reviews are written by real users about a specific version; they skew toward the frustrated, which is true of every product including ours.
- We do not repeat claims we cannot verify. Several widely-circulated stories about products in this category trace back only to a competitor’s own blog. None of them appear on these pages, including ones that would flatter us.
- If we get something wrong, tell us. support@poolslip.com — we will correct it and change the verification date.
