Sources and method
The ranking is ours. Anything on this page that can be checked is checked against a named source, and the date we last opened that source is printed with it. If a figure and our verdict disagree, trust the figure and follow the link.
No site is listed twice. A listing means we used it for a month first, and a free tier only counts as free if it survives the trial period.
