How we rank desktop software
Tools we have tested hands-on are ranked first, by our overall score (ease of use, features, value and support). Listed tools that we have not tested yet show no score. Pricing on every review is checked against the official pricing page, with the date shown. Sponsored placements are labelled and never change a score.
