No sites in this ranking match these filters.

Places follow the score; on an equal score, more agent capabilities (the +N on the badge) come first. Sites equal on both share a place. Filters and other orders hide rows but never renumber them. “(Pro)” marks a Pro listing. Pro never changes a score or a place. [What Pro includes](https://goodforbots.com/pricing#pro). “(new)” marks a listing added in the last seven days. Every report is also available as Markdown at https://goodforbots.com/r/{host}.md.
