How Data Is Collected

Official Docs
Pricing pages, changelogs, status pages — tracked for changes.
Community Research

Methodology
All scores are transparent and reproducible. Every rating links back to its data source. No hidden weights, no editorial overrides. If a tool scores well, it earned it with real metrics.
