Questions

How does it find the alternatives?

It reads the page you paste to work out what job the app does — screen recorder, clipboard manager and so on — then looks for apps that do the same job in the TheMacApps catalog, the App Store and the web. You can add or remove apps before the full research runs.

Can anyone pay to change a result?

No. Research pages have no sponsored placements, and payments, partnerships and votes are not inputs to the scoring formula.

Does “?” mean the feature isn’t supported?

No. “?” means no page read so far confirms it either way. It stays an open question until a source supports a yes or no, and conflicting sources stay visible as conflicting.

What if a report is wrong?

Every report has a Report an error button. Point to a source with the right information; a person reviews it and the outcome is listed publicly on the report.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

Research is free. No account is needed for the quick preview: paste a public URL and see a sourced comparison right away. A free account runs the full AI Research and lets you save, publish, or reuse Research.

Can Research be private?

Yes. Research can be private, unlisted, or public, and personal notes are never shown to other viewers.
