Where does GEO Index data come from?

GEO Index data comes from each vendor's public pricing and feature pages. Every published attribute stores the URL it came from and the date it was checked. Anything the source does not state is marked "not verified" and never estimated. Rankings count documented features, not opinions, and sponsorship is labelled visibly without altering the order.

Position is computed from verified data, not opinion: each tool scores one point for every feature on the category's comparison axis that its vendor publicly documents. Features marked partial or not verified score nothing. Ties are broken by the lowest entry price, and only when both amounts are published in the same currency and billing period; when they are not comparable, the tie is broken alphabetically. Sponsorship is labelled explicitly and never alters the order.
