About how these shortlists are put together.

How is each shortlist chosen?

BeHooked comes first, because these are our pages. The other entries are the researched products that cover the most of what the tool you are leaving does, preferring ones in the same category. Each links to a sourced head-to-head with BeHooked.

What counts as a reason to switch?

Only capabilities the other product does not offer or only partly offers, according to its own published pages. Anything it simply does not publish is left out, because not publishing a feature is not the same as not having it.

Do you ever recommend staying?

Every page ends its argument with the reasons to stay, taken from what that product genuinely does well. If those are why you chose it, switching may not be worth it.
