How picks are chosen
Earned, not bought
- It works. We open every site before it goes on this page.
- It is original. No template clones, trend filters, resellers of other companies' models or other directories.
- Someone clearly built it. Real effort and a real use, even if the tool is small or new.
Community Picks are separate from the rankings and never change a rank. Nothing on this page is paid.
