01

Rankings start with evidence

Rankings reflect how often a tool is mentioned, who mentions it and how they use it. Each mention links to the source.

02

Unpaid mentions carry more weight

Sponsored mentions stay visible with a label. They carry less weight, as do mentions with unclear sponsorship.

03

Commissions do not affect scores

We may earn a commission when you buy through a link. That commission does not change a tool’s score or rank.
