Software comparisons for people who hate marketing fluff.
Real prices including the renewal traps. Free plan limits vendors bury. And for every tool we recommend, who should not buy it.
Yes, some links pay us a commission. The rankings do not care: we list tools that pay us nothing and we put famous tools last when they deserve it. How we make money.
The comparisons

Web hosting
Best Web Hosting for a First Website (2026)

Prices, verified
Every number is checked against the vendor’s live pricing page, with the date on the page. Renewal prices get their own column because that is where the money goes.
Every tool has a “not for you”
Including the winners. A recommendation without a boundary is an ad. Ours tell you who should walk away.
Commissions, disclosed
Affiliate links are labeled on every button. We also tell you what each vendor pays affiliates, so you can audit our incentives.
