Free How it works
From suggestion to ranking
- Suggest it. Send the name, website and a few plain sentences on the suggest a tool page. There is no charge.
- We review it by hand. We use the official site, docs and announcements.
- We reply by email. We aim to reply within about a week. A suggestion does not guarantee a listing or a ranking position.
- If it is ranked, you get a page and a badge. Your tool gets its own page and a free badge that shows its current rank.
Payment received
Thank you. Your 30-day Spotlight is booked. We will check the tool you entered at checkout and email you the start date. The 30 days start on the day it goes live.
How ranking works
Ranked by job, not by payment
Each use case answers one question, such as which AI code editor to use. Tools are ordered on five things:
- Fit for the job. How directly the tool solves the use case.
- Output quality. How good the results are for typical builder work.
- Ease of use. How quickly a solo builder or small team gets value.
- Pricing and access. Free tiers and plan clarity.
- Maintenance. Active development and official support.
We use each product's official site, docs and announcements, and every ranking shows the date it was last updated. Sponsored placements are always labeled and never change the order. Full details are on how we rank.
Free
Show your ranking with a badge
Every ranked tool gets a free badge for its site or README. It shows the current rank and links back to the ranking. Adding it does not change a rank.
Example: the live badge for Cursor. Yours shows your own tool and rank.
Options
Free review, or faster if you need it
The free review stays free. Paid options are optional, never change a ranking, and every paid placement is labeled Sponsored.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is it free to get my tool reviewed?
Yes. Suggesting a tool is free, and we aim to review each suggestion within about a week.
Will my tool be listed or ranked?
Not necessarily. We review every suggestion by hand, but a suggestion does not guarantee a listing or a ranking position.
Can I pay to rank higher?
No. Rankings are decided by how well each tool does the job. Paid options are labeled Sponsored and never change the order of a ranking.
What do the paid options include?
A $39 one-time Fast-track review gets a reply within 2 business days. A Spotlight shows a card for your tool at the top of the New releases page for 30 days, labeled Sponsored. It is $49 until Nov 16 at 11:59 PM Pacific, normally $79. A $199 a month Featured Listing adds a Sponsored row at the top of one use-case page once your tool is listed. All are optional.
What do ranked tools get?
Every ranked tool has its own page and a free badge that shows its current rank and links back to the ranking.
What do I need to send?
Four things: the tool name, its website, a few sentences on what it does and who it is for, and your email so we can reply. The use case, your name and your relationship to the tool are optional.
Do you rank small, new or open-source tools?
Yes, if they do the job well. We rank tiny open-source projects and tools in early beta, such as Mirror CLI, next to the big names, and we say so in the verdict.
Can I suggest a tool I did not make?
Yes. Readers can suggest any AI tool on the same free form.
