/ how we write these
Our comparison method.
- Public pricing only. Every dollar figure cited comes from a published pricing page or a publicly verifiable industry report.
- Acknowledge competitor wins. Every comparison opens with "where this competitor genuinely beats us." We do not fight on substance we can't win.
- Operator decision framework. Every page closes with "choose X if..." patterns operators can apply to their own situation. The goal is you signing with the right platform, not necessarily Hermes.
- No paid placement, ever. No competitor pays for position. No affiliate links. No sponsored content. Same standard whether the comparison favors us or not.
