7.8/10Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay to rank higher?
No. Rankings are based entirely on our scoring methodology. Affiliate partnerships do not influence a tool's position. We earn commissions on some outbound links, but editorial rankings are independent.
How often are rankings updated?
Rankings are recalculated monthly. Tool data (pricing, features, pros/cons) is updated as changes are discovered, and scores adjust accordingly.
Why don't you use user ratings?
User ratings are easily gamed. Our proxy scoring system uses objective signals — feature documentation, pricing structure, and transparency indicators — to produce consistent, manipulation-resistant rankings.
How can I get my tool listed?
Submit your tool via our Contribute page. All submissions are reviewed and scored using the same methodology. There is no fee to be listed or ranked.
