How we check prices, and how this guide is paid for

Page checked 25 October 2026.

This guide is free to read, and no company pays us to be listed or for its place. We compare what companies publish on their own pages. We do not sign up for trials or test products.

Who makes this guide

The Trades AI Guide is published by Brandstars Pty Ltd (ABN 78 648 520 147), an Australian company. We make and check every page against each company's own pages. A person owns the business and is responsible for what we publish.

How we check prices and features

Every price on this guide comes from the company's own public pricing page. Every page shows the date we read the prices, and tables link to each company's page.

Here is what that means in practice:

  • We show prices in the currency the company prints. We do not convert them.
  • We show tax only where the company states it. For example, "plus Australian GST" means the page says the price excludes Australian goods and services tax (GST).
  • A feature gets a "yes" only where the company's own page says so. Otherwise the table says "not stated".
  • If a company does not publish a price, the table says so, for example "No price published". We do not ask the company for one.
  • When a page names prices, it shows one check date. We only move that date after we have read every named price again on the company's page that day.

Prices change. Before you sign up, check the price on the company's own page.

What we do not do

  • We do not sign up to trials, book demos or contact sales teams.
  • We do not publish customer reviews or star ratings.
  • We do not accept payment to be listed or to change a company's place on a page.
  • We do not claim that we tested a product. We have not.

How we order the lists

At launch we do not score or rank products. Where a table is ordered, it says how. The order is not a ranking, and the shortlists on our pages say they are not rankings either.

If we ever publish a score, we will explain on this page what goes into it and how much each part counts. We will also say that paid placement, if it ever exists, would sit apart from the list and never change a score.

How this guide is paid for

How this guide is paid for: it is free to read, and we plan to show labelled ads. No company pays us to be listed or for its place, and we have no paid, referral or affiliate deal with any company we list.

If we ever add a referral or affiliate link, we will say so here and beside the link before it goes live.
