All the data, information and opinions that we shared in this table were taken from official company pages, promotional content available online, real-life experience from real clients as well as our own everyday use of each service by an expert. We do our best to thoroughly examine every solution, as a result we not only examine it on our own, but we also match our observations with views of other people from the SaaS community.
