// how we rank
Every tool gets a score from 0 to 4 from six checks anyone can verify: the website is live, the description and tags are complete, it has a logo, its badge is verified, it has related tools, and it was re-checked recently. Featured and partner tools are shown first in each list, but paying never changes a tool's score. Read the methodology.
