How the 4.3 was reached
- Quality of output3/10

- Ease of use7/10
Single curl download with no package manager needed; docs page not found. Source: pu.dev
- Pricing valuen/a

No evidence found, so this criterion is left out of the score rather than counted as zero.
4.3/10 is the average of the 3 criterion scores above. 2 criteria had no evidence and are left out, so this score rests on 3 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.
