How these are ranked

Rankings reflect a combination of opt-in usage telemetry from paying SkillBoss users, community reviews submitted through our /api/reviews endpoint, and editorial judgment about quality, reliability, and breadth of real-world use cases. We intentionally blend signals so a single power user or review-bombing campaign cannot distort the list.

This is not a real-time usage dashboard. We refresh the leaderboard monthly. For the authoritative list of everything you can call today, see the live catalog.
