Vetted Stuff: guides hub (homepage draft)
Software picks, checked against the fine print.
Each guide covers one job, like scheduling social posts or hosting a WordPress site. We read the pricing pages, plan limits, and user complaints, so you can pick the right tool in minutes instead of an afternoon.

How we pick
Research first, recommendations second, and we’re upfront about what we haven’t tested.
Read the real pricing
We pull plans, limits, and add-on fees from each vendor’s live pricing page and note the date.
Check the docs and complaints
Help docs, published reviews, and user threads show the catches that sales pages leave out.
Match tools to people
We pick a winner for each situation (solo, small business, team) instead of one “best” for everyone.
Keep it current
When prices or plans change, we update the guide and the date at the top.
