Editorial Approach
Ilana’s reviews are based on hands-on platform testing, direct feature evaluation, and analysis of publicly available documentation, including terms of service, privacy policies, and pricing disclosures.
Platforms are assessed on:
- Transparency and clarity of information
- Real-world functionality and feature delivery
- Data handling and user privacy practices
- Overall value and long-term usability
Reviews are never influenced by promotional incentives. The goal is to provide readers with an accurate, experience-based assessment of what to expect after signup—not just what a platform claims to offer.
Ilana regularly updates published content to reflect platform changes, feature updates, pricing adjustments, and evolving industry standards.
