Prices were checked on each vendor's own pricing page and are dated. Rankings follow a published score: price value, features for agents, independent user feedback, terms and refund policy, and ease of sign-up or a free trial each get a 1–10 score, and the overall score is the plain average of the criteria we could score (for example 7.4/10).
