Methodology

• Real tools only. Each listing links to the official website, which we load when checking.
• Pricing: copied from the official pricing page with a source link and "checked" date. If we couldn't verify it, we say "See official site" rather than guess.
• Ranking within a use case is editorial (fit for a typical retail investor, reputation, breadth, ease of use). It is not for sale.
• Sponsored placements are always labelled and shown in separate sponsor slots/top of category; they do not change editorial rank numbers.
• Re-checks: links daily, pricing at least monthly (see MAINTENANCE).
