How we pick
Every app is read from its own public homepage, pricing and docs pages, and the source is kept with the entry.
We list only what those pages state: pricing, free plan, open-source and self-hosting status, platforms and features. Nothing is estimated or invented, and there are no ratings or reviews.
An unstated fact stays blank. We never turn "not mentioned" into "no", so a missing free plan on an entry means the pages did not say.
Alternatives to an app are the other entries that share at least one of its categories, ordered by how many categories they share, then by how much the vendor states, then by name. Money does not enter the order.
A comparison page exists only when both apps have enough stated data to compare. Pages without enough data are not indexed.
Apps built by the publisher are included on the same rules and marked "Ours" wherever they appear.
News summaries are written in our own words, at most one quoted sentence, and always link to the original story with its own publish date.
