A directory you can actually trust

How we rank tools

Every tool has one public score from 1 to 5. It is built from two things:

1. The editor score. When a person on our team reviews a tool, they give it a score based on what it does, how well it does it, and how fair its pricing is.
2. Visitor votes. Anyone can rate a tool on its page — one vote per visitor.

The editor score counts like five votes. A brand-new tool with no votes shows our editor score; a tool with 50 votes shows mostly what visitors think. That way one angry (or over-excited) vote can't swing a score from 4.8 to 1.0.

Next to every score we show where it comes from: “Editor score” or the number of visitor ratings. Visitors have cast 12 ratings so far.

Lists such as Top Rated, Free Tools and every category are sorted by that score — never by who paid.

How we make money

Running the directory costs money, so some placements are paid. The rule is simple: money buys visibility in labelled spots — never a score, a rank, or a review.

• Verified listings. Makers can pay to skip the review queue. They get a “Verified” badge and a place in the row marked Sponsored above the normal list. Their score and rank in the list stay exactly the same.
• Sponsored placements. Some homepage spots are sold. They are always marked Sponsored (or Our product when it's something we built).
• Affiliate links. A few “Visit” buttons earn us a commission if you sign up. Those pages say so right under the button.

Every paid or affiliate link is marked rel="sponsored", as Google requires. We don't sell followed backlinks.

How tools get listed

• Free: submit your tool and a person reviews it within 7 days. Add our “Featured on” badge to your site and you are reviewed first.
• Fast-track: a paid listing goes live within 24 hours — after the same review.
• We turn down tools that don't work, aren't really AI, are copies of another listing, or look unsafe.

Tool pages that still have only a one-line description are hidden from Google until we have written a proper review. They stay visible on the site.
