Why do other websites show a different number for the Kosovo passport?

Websites count different things. Wandava counts every way in without an embassy: visa-free (51), visa on arrival (22), online eTA (2) and eVisa (36), 111 in all. Counting only entry with no step before you travel (visa-free and visa on arrival) gives 73, and visa-free alone gives 51. When an online visa needs a local sponsor or a full set of supporting documents, Wandava counts it as an embassy visa, not an eVisa.
