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

Websites count different things. Wandava counts every way in without an embassy: visa-free (75), visa on arrival (25), online eTA (5) and eVisa (34), 139 in all. Counting only entry with no step before you travel (visa-free and visa on arrival) gives 100, and visa-free alone gives 75. 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.
