Kanary data removal service review

-
Image
Kanary remains one of the stronger data removal services going into 2026, particularly for US-based users who want ongoing monitoring and a mix of automated and guided removals rather than pure one‑off scans. It sits toward the upper end of the market in terms of price but compensates with broad broker coverage (300+ sites), clear progress tracking, and solid security practices, making it a credible choice alongside better-known names like DeleteMe and Incogni. Data brokers, people‑search sites , and marketing databases continue to proliferate in 2026, quietly collecting and trading personal details such as names, home addresses, phone numbers, and dates of birth. Services like Kanary aim to claw that information back by scanning hundreds of data brokers, sending opt‑out requests, and monitoring for reappearances over time. Kanary focuses primarily on US‑based exposure and has built its service around a straightforward promise: reach 95–100% removal success after the first few mont...

VerticalResponse Email Marketing Review: Pros & Cons, Features, Ratings, Pricing and more

-
Image
VerticalResponse has been in the email marketing game since 2001 — long enough to earn a reputation as one of the more dependable names in the space. The platform has powered campaigns for over 1.4 million businesses and it's easy to see why. It strips away the complexity that puts so many people off email marketing and makes the whole process approachable, even if you've never run a campaign before. That said, the platform has evolved considerably since its early days. Alongside its core email tools, VerticalResponse now offers landing page creation, survey functionality, automated follow-up emails, and an AI-powered content assistant to help you write faster and smarter. In this review, we take a close look at where VerticalResponse stands today, including its updated pricing, newer AI features, and whether it still holds its own against a crowded field of competitors. Paid plans are feature-rich but go up in price quickly. (Image credit: VerticalResponse ) Plans...

Mailchimp Review: Pros & Cons, Features, Ratings, Pricing and more

-
Image
When it comes to email marketing, Mailchimp is still the name most people reach for first. But since Intuit acquired Mailchimp in 2021 for roughly $12 billion, the platform has undergone many changes. Intuit has poured investment into AI capabilities, rebranding and reshaping features under its "Intuit Assist" umbrella. The result is a more powerful and automation-heavy platform than the Mailchimp many users first signed up for. That evolution has come with tradeoffs. The free plan has been pared back repeatedly over the years, with the most recent cuts in January 2026 reducing it to just 250 contacts and 500 emails per month. Automation workflows, once a free plan staple, are now exclusively for paying customers. For businesses that rely on Mailchimp's entry-level tier, the math has changed considerably. Still, for teams ready to invest in a paid plan, the platform now offers a compelling mix of email marketing, automation, AI-powered content creation, and analytics....

I wore this rugged Suunto smartwatch for months, and I reckon Garmin's got competition in the outdoor superwatch arena

Suunto Vertical 2: One minute review We’ve already waxed lyrical about the improvements Suunto has made to its one of premium, fitness-orientated smartwatches, with the latest Race 2 receiving a solid 4.5 stars out of a possible 5 late last year. Without wanting to take the very easy route here, the Vertical 2 is essentially the same watch with a few additional rugged touches. The bezel is available in either a chunky Stainless Steel or Titanium finish, while the model itself adds a built-in flashlight and a number of new battery life modes. These help improve battery efficiency for those that like to venture off-grid for days. Suunto has done away with the rotating digital crown of the Race 2, instead opting for three physical buttons. We assume this is because they are a little easier to operate with gloved hands (spoiler alert: they are), much like the best Garmin watches . The Suunto Vertical 2 offers a plethora of built-in workout profiles, the ability to download and naviga...

Clearscope review: A well-rounded SEO optimization tool for business use

-
Image
Clearscope is an AI-powered content optimization platform for marketing teams, offering real-time grading, keyword insights, and Google Docs integration. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tools like Clearscope analyze search engine result pages (SERPs) to offer clear guidance on what kind of content is currently ranking well for a particular keyword and why. They give you actionable tips to overtake your competitors in search results by optimizing content length, adding relevant terms, answering common queries from searchers, etc. In 2025, Clearscope has evolved well beyond a simple keyword-grading tool — now positioning itself as a full "discoverability platform" with AI drafting, topic exploration, and LLM visibility tracking. That said, the platform still isn't suited for budget-conscious individuals or teams needing technical search engine marketing features beyond content optimization. Interested in Clearscope?

I reviewed Philips' affordable Fidelio stereo speakers that look 'too good to be true' on the spec sheet — and they nearly pull it off

Philips Fidelio FA3: Two-minute review I don’t often think ‘this is too good to be true’ when confronted with the details of an audio product’s make-up, but a glance at the spec sheet accompanying the Philips Fidelio FA3 made me double-take. The Fidelio FA3 is an active wireless speaker system that can connect its speakers together either wirelessly or via a cable, that has high-end Bluetooth connectivity along with a fistful of physical inputs to handle hi-res content, that is controllable by an extremely extensive app, has Auracast functionality in order to become part of a multi-speaker set-up, and uses a lot of recycled material in its construction, with full-range frequency response. For $399 / £349 / AU$499? Really? Then the system comes out of its packaging and the price still seems like it might be a misprint compared to most of the best wireless speakers . It’s nicely made and finished, looks and feels good, and arrives with a physical remote control to augment the app fu...
