How we choose
- 1Start with the decision. Each guide opens with a direct answer, then shows the criteria behind it.
- 2Compare on numbers. Tables use the same criteria and units for every option.
- 3Say who it's for. Every comparison ends with "Choose A if… / Choose B if…".
- 4Stay independent. We may earn a commission in the future if we join affiliate programs; it never decides what we recommend. Read how we compare.
