How we pick

Three apps per category, always the same three roles.

Best Overall

The market leader — most features, most installs, proven at scale.

Best Match

Same job as the leader, a different trade-off — usually a friendlier price, sometimes a sharper focus.

Cheapest

The lowest-cost way to get the job done, usually with a free plan.

The five steps

1. We start from the job, not the app.
2. We install and use them.
3. We read the one-star reviews.
4. We price it at a real store's size.
5. We re-check every month.
