Testing Methodology
Each app is tested for at least 2 weeks, on multiple devices, with both free and paid tiers. We verify claimed features, measure response times, and evaluate memory retention over time. Competitors are reviewed fairly with links to their official sites. Statistics come from cited public sources. All HoneyChat limitations (free tier caps, no web version, newer platform) are always disclosed.
