How we review

The AI tools market runs on hype: launch demos, affiliate roundups ranking forty tools nobody tested, and prices hidden behind "contact sales". Our answer is a short set of rules we can be held to.

The rules

1. We say who each tool is for. "Best" without a profile is marketing. Every review names the buyer it fits and the buyer it does not.
2. Prices on the page. Indicative pricing appears in every review with the date we checked it, and we link the official pricing page because vendors change theirs often.
3. Limitations get equal billing. Every tool page has a "where it falls short" section as prominent as the praise. A review without a weakness is an advertisement.
4. Comparisons end with a recommendation. A diplomatic tie helps nobody. We commit, per profile, and say why.
5. Commissions never touch rankings. Several tools we recommend pay us nothing (ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, Cursor, GitHub Copilot among them). If a partner tool stops deserving its place, the place goes, not the criticism.
6. We update or we retire. This market moves monthly. Pages carry their update date; a page too stale to trust gets fixed or unpublished.
