How it makes money
Read from the publisher’s own website and the store listing. Each fact links to where we saw it.
We have not checked the publisher website for pricing yet. Unknown does not mean free.
We look at no more than six pages per website, follow the site’s rules for automated visitors, and go slowly. We skip pages that ask not to be read by automated tools.

Updated yesterday. Ext Watch checks public store pages itself. The numbers are from that check, not live usage.
What this page does not cover
Written reviews come from licensed review data, not from scraping the store’s review pages, so we may hold only part of them and developer replies may be missing. We don’t track store ranking history or look inside the extension’s code. The store’s user count isn’t total installs ever, and it isn’t revenue.
Related products and access lists are starting points for research, not recommendations or safety checks.
