Verdict
What the scores actually mean.
Too close to call.
Quora and Peerlist are within 0.5 LDS points of each other. Both are valid backlink sources — your choice should depend on which is easier to get listed on and which fits your content strategy.
Quora is also AI-cited — it appears in AI-generated answers. Peerlist is not. For AEO and GEO visibility, that gap matters.
