The Junk Rule

Any one of these and a tool is marked Avoid, no matter how popular it is.

  1. Hidden catch at the end. A watermark, paywall or signup that only shows up after you did the work.
  2. Malware or bundled junk. Installs extra software you did not ask for, or has shipped malware.
  3. Scare tactics. Fake scans, fake warnings, or countdowns to pressure you into paying.
  4. Caught selling your data. A regulator, court or public investigation showed it sold or shared user data or connections without clear consent.
  5. No spending cap. For developer services: no way to stop a surprise bill.
  6. Renewal trap. For developer services: renewal costs more than twice the first year, or privacy protection is extra.
