Every price and version below was checked against the vendor, not copied from another listicle — and where a rival is the better buy, the page says so.
Comparison pages in this category are usually written by whoever is selling. We are selling too, so the only thing that makes these pages worth your time is that the facts are checkable and the concessions are real. Each one lists what the other app does better, and several end by telling you to buy the other app.
Prices, versions and limits are verified on the date printed at the top of each page, and re-checked quarterly. Where we could not verify something, it says so instead of guessing.
