FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Why should I trust comparisons written by a competitor?
- Fair question. That's why every table cites checkable facts (prices, limits, requirements) with the date we verified them, links are provided, and each page includes a 'pick them if…' section. If we're the wrong fit, we'd rather you find out here than after signing up.
- What's the common ground between all these tools?
- They all end in the same server.cfg line: sv_loadingurl. Switching between any of them is a one-line change — which means the comparison is really about themes, reliability, analytics and pricing, not lock-in.
