Every tool, free

Every tool here is free. Paid plans add conveniences.

Every tool in this collection is free, and all but one work without an account. Two have free allowances: the URL Analyzer (a free account, 20 scans a month) and the Color Blindness Simulator (25 simulations a day). Paid plans lift those caps and add cloud sync, version history, batch runs, API access, and portfolio exports without the small credit line.
