## Method

A criterion counts as met (✓) only if a public page of the vendor documents it; every met cell has a source, every vendor a check date. ½ means partial: publicly documented, but only on request or with an explicit limitation; it counts as half. "Not documented" does not mean "no": it was not found on the vendor's public pages on the check date, and the vendor may still offer the feature. There is no overall winner; vendors are listed in alphabetical order. Beenest publishes the comparison and is checked by the same rules.

Legend: ✓ documented, ½ partly, – not documented (no public source found; this does not mean the feature is missing).
