How CompareStacks researches and updates pages, what independence means here, and how advertising works.
Last updated: January 24, 2026
CompareStacks is built for readers who want decision clarity: constraints, pricing behavior, and trade-offs that matter after you start using a product.
We try to be specific about what changes the decision, and explicit about what we don’t know.
We prioritize primary sources: vendor documentation, public pricing pages, changelogs, and official announcements. When primary sources aren’t available, we may use reputable secondary sources and label uncertainty.
For comparisons, we focus on the constraints that drive outcomes: limits, operational trade-offs, pricing mechanics, and where teams commonly get surprised.
Software changes. We update pages when we can verify changes using a source we can link to (for example, updated pricing pages or changelogs).
If you spot something outdated, send the page URL and a source link. We prioritize factual corrections.
CompareStacks is an independent publisher. We do not accept compensation for rankings, reviews, or placement.
We do not use affiliate links.
To support the site, we may monetize through display advertising (for example, Google AdSense).
Ads do not influence rankings, coverage decisions, or conclusions.
