How every ranking is made
Criteria before scores
We publish the criteria before scoring any product. The order is computed from the scores, not picked by a writer.
A quote and a link for every score
Each score cites an exact quote from the product’s documentation, website or GitHub, with the source link and the date we checked it.
The same test for every product
Every product in a ranking is scored on the same criteria against the same scales, so the comparison is fair.
