How we picked and checked these
Every agent was checked against the vendor's own page and is dated. The picks below are the three highest on the Easy-Start Score in each job group (ties are broken alphabetically). The score measures how easy a tool is to try, not how good it is, and it is calculated only from listing facts. Sponsored listings, if any, are labelled and never change a pick.
