How the ranking works
Every tool in the replaced tool's category in our directory gets points from its own data: free plan +2; published starting price +1; a starting price lower than the replaced tool's (or any published price, if the replaced tool publishes none) +1; free trial stated +1; no card needed to start +1; Spanish support claimed by the vendor +1; +1 for each crew size we match to both it and the replaced tool. Ties go to the lower starting price, then the name. The same rule runs on every alternatives page, and affiliate commissions are not an input.
