1. Collect sources
For each app we read the US App Store listing (description, in-app purchase list, languages, ratings), the Google Play listing, the official website and the official terms or help pages. For each drama we read the app's official series page. We save every source with its address and the date we read it, and list the sources at the bottom of the page.
2. Pull out the facts
From those sources we keep only facts: prices as listed, billing periods, episode counts, where paid episodes start, cast as credited. If a listing does not state something, we write that it is not stated instead of estimating. Numbers in our tables are checked against these saved facts.
3. Test in the apps
Some things only show up inside an app, such as how many episodes play before the paywall or what one episode costs in coins. When we test those ourselves, the page says who tested, on which device and on which day. Results can change with region and account, so we re-test after app updates.
4. Write from the facts
First drafts are written with AI assistance, working from the fact sheet only, not from other sites' articles or the wording of the sources. Drama plots are written in our own words; the synopses distributors supply are kept for a duplicate check and never copied onto the page.
5. Automated checks
Before the site is built, a script checks every page. It fails a page that is too close to its sources or to another page on this site, has a number without a source, is missing a required section, is too short for its type, or still contains placeholder text.
6. Review and sign-off
The team reads each page against its sources, fixes anything the sources do not support and signs the page off with a date. Only signed-off pages are published. The check covers titles, descriptions and image text as well as the body.
Updates and corrections
App prices and plans change often. Each page shows the date its store data was checked, and we re-check listings regularly. Mistakes readers report are fixed and listed on our corrections page.
What we will not publish
- Pirated full episodes, mirror or download sites, or links to them.
- Modified or cracked versions of any app.
- Prices, free episode counts or ratings we cannot trace to a source or our own dated test.
- Private details about actors. Actor pages list public credits and only what an official profile states.
- App logos or interfaces imitated in our own artwork.
Affiliate links
Some app links earn us a commission. They do not change what we publish or how the comparison table is ordered. See our affiliate disclosure.
AI tools
We use AI tools to help draft pages and to draw illustrations. AI helps with the first draft; the team checks every fact and recommendation against its source before a page goes live and is responsible for what it says. Our illustrations are new artwork and do not copy any app's art.
