How we compare

Six rules. On every page.

  • We say who we are.

    Skolight's team writes these pages. We make one of the products on them, and every page says so at the top.

  • Every fact about another product has a source.

    Prices, plans, features and platforms come from that product's own pricing page, help centre or announcements, linked at the bottom of the page with the date we read it.

  • We say where the other tool wins.

    Each comparison names the readers who'd be better off with something else, and why. A page that never concedes anything isn't a comparison.

  • Skolight's facts come from the product itself.

    Our prices and limits are read from the same billing table checkout uses, so they can't drift from what you'd actually get.

  • No scores, no affiliate links, no paid placement.

    We don't rate products out of ten or take money to be listed. Outbound links point to each product's own site.

  • We fix what's out of date.

    Products change fast. Pages are re-checked regularly and dated; if you spot something wrong, tell us through the contact page and we'll correct it.

Your next A+ starts with one upload.

Upload a lecture and Skolight makes the notes, flashcards, quizzes and more, with a tutor that has read every page. Free to start, no card needed.
