How scoring works
Each tool gets a 0–100 sub-score per criterion: audit recency & count (more recent / more audits = higher), jurisdiction (no intelligence-sharing alliance > 14-Eyes > 9 > 5), open source (full > partial > closed), anonymity (anonymous signup + cash/crypto payment), price (a usable free tier or lower annual cost = higher), and usability (editorial day-to-day-friction rating). Your weight for each criterion (0–10) multiplies its sub-score; the weighted average is the tool's total. Change a weight and every category re-ranks immediately. The breakdown bars show exactly which criteria earned or lost each tool points under your weights.
Attribute values are sourced from this site's published reviews and provider documentation (as of ). “Compare to our default ranking” shows the editorial ranking from those reviews next to your personalized one.
