How we picked these

We start from every app in our database that is in the same category as Candy AI and shares at least one of its site categories. Apps flagged as not recommended are left out. Among the rest, the closer an app matches the features Candy AI offers, the more likely it makes the list. The order you see is the editorial score alone, and a commercial relationship never moves an app up.

The comparisons use the criteria both apps were scored on. A criterion one of them has not been scored on yet is left out rather than treated as zero. See how we score for the weights.
