The rules we hold ourselves to
- No pay-to-play. Tools cannot buy a review, a score, or an award. Ever.
- Affiliate links never affect scores.Some outbound links earn us a commission — the scoring team doesn't know or care which ones.
- Scores can change. Tools ship updates; we re-review and adjust. Every page shows its review date.
- AI-assisted, human-accountable. We use AI to research and draft at scale; methodology, scoring rules and final calls are set editorially.
How winners are chosen
Each week, all newly reviewed tools compete. The highest overall score takes Winner of the Week. Editor's Picks go to tools that excel in one criterion even if their overall score isn't the highest. Monthly winners are picked from the weekly winners.
