Review strength
After de-duplication — the three Capterra reviews were each syndicated verbatim on a second platform and counted once — 33 unique reviews were analyzed across two review platforms. The review set spans from August 2020 to September 2026, with a meaningful share of reviews (roughly 40%) dated before 2023, making some evidence more than two years old. Many G2 entries consist of titles and ratings only, limiting textual depth for several categories. Review date range: 2020-08-06 - 2026-09-04.
