# How DeFi Orbit compares

How we compare

## The rules we hold these pages to

A comparison written by one side is only useful if it is fair. These pages follow four rules.

01

### We compare on what we do

Liquidity and lending position data. Nothing else.

02

### Every claim is sourced

Statements about another product link to that product's own documentation.

03

### Every page is dated

Products change. Each page shows when it was last reviewed.

04

### We say when we are not the fit

Each page has a section on when the alternative is the better choice.
