VERDICT
The working people's think tank for 40 years - epi.org
Depends. EPI is not a product: it is a 40-year-old progressive think tank that gives away research, calculators, and economic data for free. Treat it as a source, not a purchase — useful if you accept its left-leaning lens, not for buyers shopping for software.
Medium. Based on ~20 public sources. Note: this page is a nonprofit research organization, not a purchasable software product.

Reddit economists broadly call EPI credible but openly left-leaning, questioning whether its methodology serves preset conclusions.
“EPI is a left leaning think tank and has bias in their publications. They aren't the worst, but there is a lot of better resources out there.”
“The EPI graph isn't measuring productivity vs. pay, even for "typical workers"; it's measuring wage inequality.”
“Criticism of EPI centres around their close links to labour and need to keep their pay masters happy.”

Not software — a free progressive think tank's research site. Nothing to buy; useful data, criticized left-leaning bias.
