Editorial Policy

Sources and verification

A price claim carries a source and a check date. Vendor-published figures, third-party estimates and quote-only pricing are distinguished in the review. The verification log records each check, including the checker and an archive link where available. Missing snapshots and pending human reviews are labelled.

Reviews state the basis for product claims: published documentation, prior production use without a test record, or a documented hands-on test. A source check is not a product test. The source directory and scoring methodology let readers inspect the evidence and calculation separately.

How every product is handled

The same rubric for everyone. Scores come from the weights on the methodology page, which is rendered from the code that applies them. No product is scored differently from another, and totals cannot be typed in.
Weaknesses are printed. Every review lists where the product loses and to whom, in a section with that name, and the dialer we recommend most often has a whole page of it: Where DialSheet loses.
Products win where they win. PhoneBurner above roughly 8,000 talk minutes a rep a month. Kixie for a team working inside HubSpot. Orum for nine or more SDRs who need ten-line parallel dialing. Each is said on the relevant page with the number.
Nothing is decorated. A product's row, card and button look identical to every other product's.
Recommendations come with arithmetic. The telephony model is published with its assumptions, and the total that justifies a recommendation is on the page.
The recommendation box picks by rule. The "cheapest way to test this category" box on comparison pages selects the vendor with the lowest dialer-inclusive entry price in the dataset. If the data changes, the box changes. It does not appear on the homepage.

DialSheet ranks first on several pages of this site. Readers should weigh that with the following in view:

Its review identifies the basis for its product claims and includes sub-score justifications, pricing limits and a "where it loses" section.
The sensitivity table re-ranks every dialer under four other weightings, including one that ignores price, so a reader can see where its lead holds and where it does not.
Outbound links to DialSheet carry rel="sponsored".

Advertising

We run no banner advertising and sell no ranking positions. If a vendor advertises here in future, the placement will be labelled as advertising, kept out of rankings and tables, marked rel="sponsored" in the HTML, and listed on this page.

Right of reply

Any vendor reviewed on this site may reply. Send the response to abhixchawla@gmail.com from a company address. It is published unedited on the vendor's review page under the heading "Vendor response", with the date received, within five working days. If the response identifies a factual error, the error is also corrected and logged on /corrections. We do not remove or soften a documented weakness because a vendor objects to it; we do publish the objection.

What we will not publish

A price presented as verified without a source and check date
A review presented as hands-on when no test record exists
A statistic without a named source, year and sample size, or an estimate presented as a measurement
A comparison that omits the case where the other tool wins
A ranking position anyone paid for
A named author who does not exist

How we label links

Vendor links carry a tracking parameter so the vendor can see which pages send readers. Paid placements, if any ever exist, carry rel="sponsored". Third-party sources are linked directly with rel="nofollow" so that citing a page is not a vote for it.

Corrections

Every correction is logged on /corrections with the date, what was wrong and what changed. Reports are acknowledged within two working days. Routine price changes found by re-verification go in the verification log instead.
