How we choose what goes in the directory
Five tests, applied to every entry, and the way its facts are checked.
The five tests
- It is free to use, or has a free tier that is useful by itself, or it is an official body.
- Whoever runs it can be identified, and it has been running for at least a year, unless it is a government, church or charity source.
- It works for a UK wedding. Tools built for the US are allowed if they are free and good, and the entry says so.
- You can see something useful before it asks for your email address. If it asks first, the entry says so.
- The entry names at least one real limitation.
How the facts are checked
Prices, free tiers and whether you need an account are read from each tool’s own website, and each entry shows the date that was done. If a fact could not be confirmed on the tool’s own site, it is left out rather than guessed. Tools that fail a test are dropped, including some well-known ones.
How entries are ordered
Listed alphabetically. Nothing here is ranked and nobody paid to be included. There are no adverts and no affiliate links, and every link is an ordinary link.
