      How this score is made up

      Each dimension is scored out of 100 and combined into the headline score using fixed weights.

      • MCP support

        Whether an agent can drive the product through the Model Context Protocol, and how much setup that takes.

      • Documentation

        Publicly reachable docs — coverage, freshness, code samples and machine readability.

      • Agent friendliness

        How readable the site is to an automated client: llms.txt, structured data, server-rendered content, crawler access.

      • Customer sentiment

        Third-party ratings, shrunk toward the catalogue mean by review volume and corroborated across independent sources.

      • Changelog

        A public, dated record of what shipped and when — the clearest signal that a product is still alive.

      • Marketing site structure

        Whether the site answers a buyer's questions: clear positioning, the pages that matter, and accessibility.

      • Page speed

        How fast the site loads for real visitors: Chrome UX Report 75th-percentile LCP, INP and CLS, with a Lighthouse mobile run standing in where a site has too little traffic for field data.

      • Operational trust

        Status page and incident history, security disclosure, compliance and data-processing documentation.

      Measured, but not part of the score

      Useful to know, but not a mark for or against the product — so these do not affect the ranking.

      • Openness

        Source availability, self-hosting, data export and open standards. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — paid SaaS is not worse for being paid SaaS.

      Where this comes from

      The KeePass pages BenchRank reads when it scores the product — its documentation, release notes, status and security pages, and its repository where there is one.
