8.0/10 is the average of the 4 criterion scores above. One criterion had no evidence and is left out, so this score rests on 4 of the five. A tool needs at least three to get a score. The evidence comes from one source.Scores come from public evidence (the tool's own pages and documentation, and independent reviews); we do not test every tool hands-on. Scored 29 September 2026, on version 1 of our five-criteria scoring method.
