How the shortlist is calculated
Comparable first. We consider listings in the same category as Frase and alternatives previously researched for this page.
Requirements first. We prioritise your selected needs, then shared strengths, fewer documented trade-offs, more complete research and finally alphabetical order.
Unknown remains unknown. Missing evidence is never converted into a benefit or a trade-off. Every improvement shown above comes from the same sourced criterion as the listing.
Independent order. Payment does not affect selection or ranking. Paid placements are labelled Advertisement.
