How is this list ranked?
Every name on this page has a score out of 10, and the list is sorted by that score, best first. The score comes from the same criteria for everything: accuracy where it can be tracked, coverage, ease of use, price, transparency and support.
No position in the ranking is paid for. Apps in a “Featured” block are placements: they are not ranked and have no score. Open a review to see what I liked, and what I did not.
