Tool Scorer

AI tool scorecards

Know the score before you pay.

Every AI tool here gets one number out of 100 and a plain verdict: buy it, it’s fine, it depends, or skip it. Same five criteria for all of them, written for people who pay with their own card.

Editor's picks

What a score is, and isn’t

  • Same rubric for every tool, weights published.
  • Prices and free-plan limits checked on the vendor’s own page.
  • Affiliate links pay the bills. They never move a score.
  • Not a lab benchmark. It’s a buying decision, written down.
