How we check these

The “Best for” and “Free plan?” answers for the other tools come from each vendor’s own website, read between October 27, 2026 and October 30, 2026, on the date each source gives; the Sources below link the page each one came from. If something isn’t listed on a vendor’s site, we say so instead of guessing.

Plans change, so confirm on the vendor’s site before you decide. The best test is the same for every tool: run a real storm on it.
