Editorial policy and method
How My Tool .blog decides what to cover, how pages are researched, and what we will never do.
What a review is based on
Actual use on a stated plan for a stated period, written by the person who used it. Each review says which plan, since when, and whether it is still in use. Opinions are personal and the reviewer’s situation (solo, services business) is stated so you can adjust.
Cancelled tools
When a tool is cancelled the review is updated with the reason and the date, not deleted.
What we never do
- Sell a ranking, a score, a placement or a positive sentence.
- Claim personal testing we did not perform.
- Publish numbers without a source and a date.
- Let a commission rate decide coverage.
- Use invented reviewers, invented testimonials or stock "customer" quotes.
Frequently asked
Do you personally use every product you cover?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Where a page is based on first-hand use it says so, with the plan and the dates. Otherwise it is built from documentation, pricing history and verified user reports, and it says that too.
Can a vendor pay to be included or to improve a score?
No. Vendors can send corrections with sources, which we check like any other evidence.
How often are pages updated?
Prices and features are re-checked on a schedule and each page shows its last-checked date. Readers’ corrections are handled as they arrive.
