What this product does not do
- No platform is switched on for posting yet, so nothing publishes to any platform through this product today.
- No language has completed human review, so every language in the interface is labelled beta.
- Every pricing tier has been decided and carries a real price.
These sentences are read from the code that decides them, not typed by hand, so this section cannot drift away from what the product actually is today.
How this page is made
Every row is one claim, with the document it came from and the date a person read it. There are no competitor screenshots, no copied feature wording and no invented weaknesses.
What not verified means
A cell says not verified when the fact could not be read on the other option official public documentation on the day of the check. It is never filled in from memory, and never copied from a summary somebody else wrote.
Every comparison is rechecked at least once every 90 days, and immediately when a platform or an option changes something a row states.
