How points are calculated — Pts = (Quality×30% + Ease×20% + Free plan×15% + Value×20% + Languages×15%) × 10. Quality = average App Store (US) user rating of the app's own iPhone app (3.0 = 0, 5.0 = 10); no such app = default 5.0. No public blind-vote benchmark exists for this task. Ease = 2 points each for web, iPhone, Android, starting from a plain-language prompt and starting without paying. Free plan: recurring free allowance 9, one-time trial 5, none 0, minus 1 each for a watermark and low-resolution or non-commercial output. Value = lowest entry price in the task ÷ this app's cheapest monthly plan × 10 (the cheapest paid plan in the task = 10); no public price = default 5.0. Languages by the number documented (50+ = 10).

* Not published: the documented default (5) is used, never a guess. Form = last 5 matchdays: points up · same · down. A new matchday is added only when points change. Each app page lists the sources behind its scores.
