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

Websites count different things. Wandava counts every way in without an embassy: visa-free (67), visa on arrival (23), online eTA (10) and eVisa (30), 130 in all. Counting only entry with no step before you travel (visa-free and visa on arrival) gives 90, and visa-free alone gives 67. 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.
