Primary picks only. Monthly estimates use 1 person. Scores use each listing’s categories, use cases, and prices. For a capped budget, the primary picks are the highest-scoring combination that stays within the cap. Ties break by a lower total, then product name. This is not a quality ranking.

Questions
How does this Student stack get picked?
Each job keeps the listing with the highest score, plus up to two alternatives. A tool covers a job when its jobs field says so, or, if that field is empty, when one of its categories maps to the job. A role match comes from bestFor, or, if that field is empty, from a fixed map of use cases. Prices come from the listing’s starting price and paid-from fields. The score is not a quality rating, and StackFinds did not test these products against each other.
How is the monthly total calculated?
Monthly estimates use 1 person. Per-person prices are multiplied by that headcount. The budget is free only, so every estimate is $0. An annual price that is not already printed as a monthly figure is not converted. If any primary pick lacks a verified monthly price, or a job has no listing that fits, the total says price not confirmed.
How do I share or change this stack?
The same choices open in the builder at /build/?role=student&team=1&budget=free&jobs=notes-docs,tasks-projects,ai-assistant,coding,design. Copy my stack copies a plain-text list and that URL. Email me my stack stores the address and the list. It does not send mail yet.
