How these numbers are made
- Each count is computed from the directory’s records when the page is built; no figure is typed in by hand.
- Each record comes from the vendor’s own pages (product pages, trust centers, security pages, pricing pages and policies), linked on the listing with the date it was checked.
- “Unconfirmed” means the vendor doesn’t say. We don’t infer or estimate.
- The directory covers tools we have added and checked; it isn’t a census of the market. Percentages describe the tools listed.
