TaskReports

Editorial Policy

TaskReports is written by the TaskReports Editorial Team. This policy explains how we work, how we pick tools, and how we handle money, mistakes and AI assistance.

Independence

Our editorial team decides what we cover and how we rank it. Sponsors and vendors do not decide our picks. Paid status never decides rank. A sponsored placement is labelled "Sponsored" where it appears, and it sits apart from our ranked list. If a vendor sends us information, we check it against the vendor's own public pages before we use it.

We do not accept payment for a rank, a review score, or a place in a list. We do not publish paid editorial ranks. We do not let a vendor approve our text before we publish it.

How picks are made

We start with the buyer question. Who is the tool for, what team size, and what job must it do. We then list the tools that serve that buyer, read their pricing pages and documentation, and compare them on the same criteria for that category. You can see those criteria and their weights on our how we score page.

We do not invent people, quotes, test results, user counts, awards, credentials or photos. We do not run our own product tests. We publish researched comparisons only. That means our findings rest on vendor docs, pricing pages, changelogs, public reviews and published benchmarks. We say "we reviewed" or "we compared", and we never claim to have run the tools ourselves.

We publish no numeric product scores on researched pages. We give a clear pick, a short reason, and the facts that support it.

Freshness

Money pages are re-checked every 45 days. That check covers prices, plan names, seat minimums and the features that sit on each plan. Each article shows a last verified date. If a vendor changes a price between checks, we update the page when we learn of the change.

Corrections

If we get a fact or a price wrong, we fix it. Send a correction through our contact page and tell us the page, the error, and the source that shows the correct fact. We check the source, update the page, and note the correction with the date. We do not remove a page to hide an error.

AI assistance

AI helps us draft. Editors check every fact and price against the source before anything is published. AI does not decide ranks, does not invent prices, and does not replace source checks. A human editor reads each page, confirms each price link, and confirms each claim has a source. If a draft contains a claim we cannot verify, we remove it.

What we do not do

We do not publish generic head terms with no buyer in mind. We write long-tail guides for a defined team and a defined job. We do not copy star ratings from other sites. We do not present public review counts as our own findings. We keep our scope to project management by team, time tracking, and resource planning and professional services automation.

If you have a question about this policy, contact us. We will answer in plain language.

How we research

We compare tools on the same fixed criteria, from the vendor's own docs and pricing pages.

How we are funded

Some links earn a commission, but it never changes which tool ranks first.

How we keep prices current

Prices are checked against the vendor's own page and dated, so you know when they last changed.
