A tool that someone replacing the original would reasonably consider. Every alternative here is named in one of our own reviews — as a lighter option, a more powerful option or a head-to-head competitor — and each relationship is checked by hand before it is published. Tools that merely sit in the same category are not listed.
We publish an alternatives page only when our reviews name enough genuine alternatives and each one has been checked. More pages are in review; they appear here when they are ready.
No. Alternatives are ranked by our editorial score, and no tool pays to be listed or ranked. Some tool profiles carry affiliate links, which never affect rankings.
