- How is this list ranked?
- By how many creator videos showed the tool, then by how recently it was last seen. Only tools whose EU status is verified as available are ranked. Paid placement does not exist on this site.
- How do you check EU availability?
- We read the vendor's availability pages, terms and regional notes, store a short reason with each status and the date we checked, and publish unknown when we cannot confirm. Full method on the methodology page.
