Tools for YouTube viewers and creators — the short answers
Every number here comes from our own daily check — not from a vendor list.
Tools for YouTube viewers and creators — how many are there?

Which ones are still maintained?
Tablif knocks on every door once a day and records the answer. 141 of these 145 responded on the latest run, so that number is what "still here" means on this page — not a review score.
Are any of them free?
42 of the live ones say so in their own words, and 21 let you start without making an account. Tablif records the claim the product makes; we don't verify pricing.
Any open-source options?
