How is the ranking built?

We don't accept paid placement and we publish the rules so you can audit them yourself.

When was this ranking last updated?

This page rebuilds daily. Source data — Alcove's listing and the 12 alternatives' listings — is scraped every 24 hours. Audit scores re-run on the same cadence. If a rating shifts more than 0.05★ overnight, that's a real change in the marketplace, not a model artifact.
