About this review

How this was written, who paid for what, and what happens when you click through.

Is this AppSumo review sponsored?

No. AppSumo did not pay for this write-up, see it before publication, or have any say in the verdict. If we earn anything it is a commission after you buy, and it comes out of the merchant’s margin rather than your price.

How was the AppSumo assessed?

By using it and by checking the claims made about it against what it actually does. Where our time with something has been limited, the review says so rather than implying more testing than happened.

What happens when I click the buy button?

You go straight to the merchant through our own redirect. No interstitial page, nothing added to your basket, and none of your details passed on.

What else have you reviewed in Tech?

Everything in Tech sits in the review library, where you can filter by budget and sort by rating, price or how recently it landed.

Do you update reviews after publishing?

Yes — when a product changes, when a price moves for good, or when we get something wrong. Corrections are made on the piece itself with a note saying what changed.
