Scoring scale

1.0 – 10.0

Task-fit score per workflow. Higher means better fit for that specific job — not a universal ranking.

Important

This is task-fit scoring, not a universal ranking. A tool with a 7.5 overall can be the right pick for your workflow if it scores 9.0 on the row that matters. Always read the row before the average.

Stop guessing
