Method

Overall score = utility (rated by the editorial team), reliability (GitHub activity, official publisher, reachable site), security (where data goes, permissions, known incidents) and accessibility (install, required level, price), weighted per category. A tool inactive for over six months is flagged and leaves the recommendations. No ranking is sold.
