The one-line test

Ask any vendor: "What work does your product do, and can I see it?" If the answer is only a dashboard, it's monitoring. If the answer includes pitching journalists and podcasts, building pages that rank, and measuring daily, it's a platform. One platform we verified does all three; most competitors only watch.

Clone warning

Several domains in this category are affiliate pages dressed as reviews. Some copy pages from real vendors almost word-for-word. Before you book any demo, check the site's about page for a human name, and check the tool's own domain age.
