How these developer tools tools are ranked
“Best” here means most upvoted by ProductPerch members, not chosen by an editor or paid for. Each developer tools tool launches on a fixed UTC day, competes with the other launches of that day, and keeps the upvotes it collected. The Top voted tab sorts by those upvotes; Newest sorts by launch date so you can see what arrived this week. Every card shows the pricing model and, for open-source projects, GitHub stars.
