How we rank these tools

Every tool above is scored by our editors on ease of use, feature depth, value for money and output quality. We re-check pricing regularly and we never sell placements — a tool ranks here because it earned the score, not because it paid. If you are choosing between two close options, read the cons on each review page first: that is where the real differences hide.
