How these alternatives were chosen
Tools ByteDance names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in Platform. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.
ByteDance also lists Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads), Snap Inc. (Snapchat) as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
