Five formats · five tests · re-checked quarterly
There is no single best sheet. There is a five-minute test that tells you whether the one in front of you is worth another minute.

The audit results
The numbers are not a podium. They are a reading order: start with the format that fits the job, then check it.
Best for browsing. Check the date on every card.
Widest reach. Weakest evidence. Use it to find, not to judge.
Quick to scan. Usually thin below the fold.
Transparent and copyable. Link rot is the risk.
Good for trust in a person. Bad for looking up a row.
Do it yourself
Open any sheet. Do these five things in order. Stop when two fail.
Find a specific date, not “updated today”. If the newest row is older than 45 days, treat the sheet as a reference, not a shop.
Open five product links at random. Count how many return 200 and still show the same item. Two failures out of five is a red flag.
A real QC note names a defect, a measurement or a photo angle. “QC included” is not a note.
Pick one item and compare the sheet price with the product page. A mismatch is not always fraud, but it must be explained.
Who checked it, when, and what they could not verify. If there is no answer, the sheet is a list, not an index.
Boundaries
Questions
It is an audit of five public formats, not a traffic ranking. The scores are editorial, dated, and based on what a reader can see without an account.
Because completeness is not the only test. A site can have 650 QC sets and still hide the price, bury the method or fill the first screen with promoted rows.
Yes. The five tests are public and reproducible: freshness, QC specificity, link health, price clarity and reading effort. Run them yourself before trusting any list, including this one.
A site that fixes its date discipline and link health, or one that starts publishing real QC evidence instead of the word “QC”. We re-check quarterly.
Then open the shelf you need. A good audit ends with a decision, not a bookmark folder.
