## Questions

### How do you check these facts?

We read each tool's own pricing, product and docs pages, and list them on the page with the date we read them. If something has changed, tell us and we'll fix it.

### What does “Not verified” mean?

We couldn't confirm it on that tool's public pages. It may still exist.

### You make Motion Reel. Are these fair?

We do, so read them with that in mind. Each page says where the other tool is strong and when to pick it instead.

### Which tool should I pick?

If you only post Reels, TikToks and Shorts and want comment-to-DM in the same place, Motion Reel. If you post to many other networks, want AI to make the video or want to host it yourself, one of the others will suit you better.
