Our Review Methodology
How we test AI tools — so you know what's behind our scores.
Buy the tool
Every tested tool is subscribed to with our own money. No free access from vendors — this means our experience is identical to that of paying users.
Standardized test tasks
We use the same set of test tasks for each tool category. Text generators get the same five briefs, image generators get the same prompts — no tool has a home advantage.
Evaluation criteria
Output quality, speed, value for money, usability, and reliability are scored separately. The overall verdict is a weighted score across these dimensions.
Updates
Tools are re-evaluated when prices change significantly, new models are released, or user feedback indicates relevant changes.
Affiliate transparency
Some links are affiliate links. This never influences test results or rankings — our verdict is based solely on test performance.
Evaluation criteria
Every tool is scored separately across these five dimensions. The overall verdict is a weighted score across all of them.

- ▸
Speed — How fast the tool responds and how it holds up under real workloads.
- ▸
Value for money — What you get for the price compared to alternatives.
- ▸
Usability — How intuitive the interface and workflow are day to day.
- ▸
Reliability — How consistent results and availability are over repeated use.
