TaskReports Editorial Team

Every guide on TaskReports is researched, written and updated by the TaskReports Editorial Team. We publish under the team name rather than under individual bylines, because each guide goes through the same research steps, the same checks and the same review before it goes live.

What the team covers

We cover three areas of work management software:

• Project management, shortlisted by team type and industry
• Time tracking and timesheets, judged on approvals, rounding and exports
• Resource planning and professional services automation (PSA) for billable teams

We stay inside these three areas so each comparison can go into the details that change a buying decision: per-user price, seat minimums, plan limits and where a tool starts to strain.

How a guide is produced

1. Define the buyer. Each guide starts with a named buyer: the team, its size and the job the tool has to do.
2. Build the long list. We list the tools that plausibly serve that buyer, using vendor sites, public directories and public reviews.
3. Read the primary sources. We read pricing pages, plan comparison tables, documentation and changelogs for every tool on the list.
4. Compare on published criteria. Tools are compared on the criteria described on our how we score page.
5. Check before publishing. Prices and plan details are checked against the vendor page, and the check date is shown on the guide.
6. Re-check on a schedule. Money pages are re-checked every 45 days and updated when a vendor changes a price or a plan.

What we do not do

• We do not run hands-on product tests, and we do not claim to.
• We do not invent quotes, user counts, awards or test results.
• We do not publish numeric product scores on researched pages.
• We do not sell ranks. Sponsored placements are labelled "Sponsored" and never change the order of a ranked list.

Standards and corrections

Our full rules are in the editorial policy, and the way we earn money is explained in our disclosure. If you find an error in a fact or a price, please tell us through the contact page. We check the source, correct the page and note the date of the correction.
