About SuiteProbe

This site exists because document incompatibility is invisible until it embarrasses you — in a client email, at a closing, or in a job application.

Why this site exists

Most software reviews are written by opening a program, looking at the menus and forming an opinion. That tells you nothing about whether the invoice you sent yesterday still has its table borders when your client opens it in a different suite. The failure is small, visual, and expensive.

So we test the boring things instead: page breaks, merged cells, headers, formulas, embedded fonts. We generate documents ourselves so every element is known in advance, open them in a clean installation, and capture what appears.

What the site will not do

• Claim to have tested a paid tier we hold no licence for.
• Publish a numeric score we cannot reproduce from a described method.
• Repeat a vendor's marketing claim as if it were a finding.
• Change a result because a vendor or an affiliate programme would prefer it.

Who writes it

SuiteProbe is run by a small editorial and testing operation, independent of any software vendor. The site is funded by affiliate commissions, disclosed on every page that carries a commercial link — the details are here.

Corrections

If a result here does not match what you see with the same file, write to us. Reproducible corrections are investigated and reflected in the article with the date of the change. Contact details are here.

How the testing works

The full method — evidence classes, environment, and what counts as a verified claim — is in editorial standards. If a claim on this site cannot be traced to that page, it should not be trusted.
