How we compare
Mirage Metrics publishes comparison pages between its own agents and other products. This page says where every fact on them comes from, who pays for them (nobody), how often they are reread and how to get one corrected.
Policy in force since 8 October 2026
What a comparison page is for
A buyer who is weighing Mirage against another product has usually already read that product's website. What they lack is the two side by side, on the questions that decide a purchase: what each one reads, which systems it writes into, who runs it, what it costs, and who already uses it. Each page under /compare answers those questions for one product or one approach, and ends with where the other product is the better fit.
Mirage is the author of these pages and also one of the two products on them. We do not pretend otherwise. What we can do is show our sources, state the date we read them, and say plainly where we lose.
Where the competitor's facts come from
Every statement about another product comes from that vendor's own public pages: its product and feature pages, its pricing page, its documentation and the case studies it publishes. Each page we used is listed in the Sources section of the comparison with the date we read it.
- Public pages only. No private demo, no sales call, no document under NDA and no reseller material is used as a source.
- No reviews, no analyst rankings. Third-party review sites and paid analyst reports are not sources, because we cannot verify what they say and the vendor cannot correct them.
- Quoted, dated, linked. When we quote the vendor, the quotation is short and the page it comes from is in the Sources list with its access date.
- Silence is stated. When a vendor publishes no price, no customer name or no figure, the page says so rather than guessing.
Where Mirage's facts come from
The rule for Mirage's own side is stricter than for the competitor's. A comparison page may only state about Mirage what this site already publishes elsewhere: the case studies with named clients (Biodéal, OFRET Groupe, Transwin, John Cockerill, OCBM, Mass Céréales Al Maghreb), the About page and the sector pages. No figure is created for a comparison.
In practice that means a page about freight documents can cite OFRET Groupe's 90% of standard quote requests answered automatically and Transwin's 70% less manual data entry, and nothing else. It cannot cite an accuracy percentage, because Mirage publishes none: the share of documents that need a human check is measured on each client's own documents during the proof of concept. Where the competitor publishes a figure Mirage does not, the table says that Mirage publishes none.
No paid placements
No vendor pays to appear on a comparison page, and none pays to be left out. There are no affiliate links, no sponsored rows and no referral arrangements with any product named on this site. The only commercial interest on these pages is Mirage's own, and it is visible: Mirage sells the agents on the left of every table.
That is why each page carries an "Advantages and limitations" section for both products and a use-case section that says who should pick the other one. A page that only listed where Mirage wins would be an advertisement, and would not help the buyer it is written for.
How a page is written
Every comparison follows the same structure, so two pages can be read the same way: a short answer under the title, a table of the aspects that decide the purchase, the key differences in prose, advantages and limitations of each product, use cases for each, a FAQ, the Sources list and a link back here. Each row of the table is a single fact that can be checked against one source, in the vendor's own words where a wording matters.
Pages are written in English, French or Spanish for the market they serve. A translated page carries the same facts and the same sources as the original.
Review cadence
Vendors change their pricing and their product pages, so a comparison that was true on its access date can go stale. Every comparison page is reread against its sources at least once a quarter, and sooner when a vendor announces a change we notice or when someone tells us about one. The access dates in the Sources list show when a page was last checked.
When a source has changed, the page is corrected and its modification date updated. When a product has been discontinued or has changed so much that the comparison no longer makes sense, the page is removed and its address redirected to the comparison hub.
Corrections
If you work for a vendor named on a comparison page and a statement about your product is wrong, or if you are a reader who has found an error, write to [email protected] with the address of the page, the statement in question and the public page that shows the correct fact. Every request gets an answer within two business hours.
A correction backed by the vendor's public pages is applied, the Sources list is updated with the new page and its access date, and the page's modification date changes. We do not remove a sourced fact because a vendor would prefer it unsaid; we correct facts that are wrong.
