How we rank and check tools
The Atlas is independent: every tool listed is free and open source, and the full Atlas is part of Verbito Starter and above. Rankings can't be bought. This page explains exactly how tools are ranked, how the badges and checks are worked out, and what we leave out.
Rankings can't be bought
We don't sell placement, charge for listings, or earn commission on any tool. Nobody can pay to appear higher in a list, in search results or in the “Help me choose” quiz. If we ever take sponsorship to cover costs, it will be clearly labelled and kept completely separate from rankings and badges.
How “Best for…” lists are ranked
Each list is put together by hand from the tools in the Atlas. Beginner-friendly tools come first; then we weigh how well it does the job, how healthy the project is, whether it runs on ordinary computers, and whether there's a free online demo. People's “Did this work for you?” results are used as one input once enough people have answered.
How the health badge works
It's worked out from public GitHub data: how recently it was updated, whether it's archived, its license, how big its community is, and its age. It's a quick guide, not a security audit.
The trust checks on every tool
Official source: the only link we trust is the project's own GitHub page, and we warn when several projects share the same name. Popularity pattern: we flag projects with a huge number of stars but very few copies (forks), or that are very new and already hugely popular, because stars can be bought. Really free? We separate fully free, free but needs a powerful graphics card, and free code that uses a paid service. Use it at work? A plain summary of the license. Fits my computer? A plain verdict for your type of device. How you install it, and roughly how long it takes. Works in Arabic? From the project's docs or well-known support.
What we leave out
We don't list software mainly meant for crime or abuse: tools to undress people or make sexual images of real people without consent, malware, password and CAPTCHA cracking, account farming, leaked source code, or tools that break other services' terms. Face-swap and voice-cloning tools are listed with a consent warning. So far we've turned down 294 projects.
Limits of the checks
The checks are automatic and based on each project's own information, which can be wrong or out of date. They aren't legal, security or financial advice. Always download from the official link, and tell us about problems in the “Did this work for you?” box.
