How does usedby rank Brave Search alternatives?
usedby checks the task against dated vendor sources before ranking. A shared category or customer is not enough. Ranked candidates document the task shown here; pricing, integrations and the rest of the product still need comparison. Other reviewed tasks and unknown matches appear separately. Public customer counts set the order, not suitability or feature parity. The pool includes category candidates and products in other categories with a reviewed match for this task.
