How to read this list
The score is our rubric, not a user average: evidence completeness (a readable page, a one-liner, a published price, platforms, a launch date) plus adoption where a registry number exists. A high score means “we could verify a lot”, not “this will work for you”. The check date next to each row is the honest cut-off.
What would change the ranking
A price change, a product shutting down, or a page that stops being readable. The crawler re-reads every URL daily and stores a text hash, so a silent rewrite is detected and flagged rather than discovered by a reader.
