Edit Images products are built for consumers
Rankings prioritize documented edits to existing images, with one product per company. Scores reflect supplied evidence, not tested output quality. Zero review counts provide no quality signal, and company follower counts are only weak adoption proxies.
SOTA2 collected 20 companies and 64 products with direct evidence that consumers use the product to perform this task.
Compatibility alone is not sufficient: the audience must be a first-class user of the product.
