Alexa Shutting Down On 2022-05-01

This is one of my favorite sites and perhaps one of my most visited ones as I've looked up tens of thousands of sites over the years with Alexa.
Sure it's not super accurate, but I've yet to find a service that gives a better estimate of how popular a site is.

That comes to the goal of this thread: what do you think is the best alternative to Alexa.com?

The guy that is quick and smart enough to buy that domain and monetize it.

On the topic of the domain, I think one of the reasons it's being shut down is because Amazon is planning to use the domain for their Alexa devices.
If it were to be sold I think the price tag would be in the mid six figures, if not higher. In the worst case, it would just idle in an account as I don't think Amazon is too worried about making a quick buck on the domain considering the company value and they'll be holding on to it for 10-20 years until someone forgets to renew and at that point we'll see it on DropCatch.

But back to the main topic, which tool do you think is the best for measurement?
The one that I've been trying to get used to is SimilarWeb, but I don't think they have as much data as Alexa to give a good estimate.

similarweb's estimates are much more accurate than alexa's

I don't really have big data to go off, but based on the comparisons I've made on smaller sites (top 200k), the results on SimilarWeb were very different.
