How we review tools

Our goal is to help you find a genuinely useful free option, not to create the largest list of links.

Evidence levels

Provider-reviewed: We have reviewed public documentation or an interface. This does not establish that every feature works or that a privacy claim is independently audited.

Candidate: More evidence is required; candidates are excluded from the public catalog.

Pricing and privacy

Free means the advertised core task is free; free tier means some features may cost money. Unknown conditions are not assumed to be safe or free. External providers control their own pricing and policies.

Independence

We do not currently display paid rankings or affiliate links. Future commercial relationships must be disclosed and must not determine editorial recommendations.

When we build

We build only after identifying a real unmet need or several meaningful improvements over existing options.
