Disclosures: nature of this page · affiliations · corrections

This page is a factual record — not advice, not a recommendation, not a solicitation, not an endorsement. Inclusion is not approval. Policies change; check the provider's primary documents before you rely on any value.
We currently have no affiliate relationship with any listed service. If that ever changes, we will disclose it inline, it will not affect what is listed or how it is ordered, and the change will be recorded here.

Evidence

The table separates the source capture from the latest supporting re-check in each immutable evidence stream. Document sha256 values fingerprint retained decoded bodies; interface-run digests fingerprint reviewed, redacted artifacts. A digest detects change but does not itself timestamp the bytes.
