How we review AI tools

Different content, clearly labelled

Tool listings introduce a product and its use cases. Research overviews summarize official documentation and identify things to check. Hands-on reviews should describe the plan, date, inputs, and tasks used in testing.

Ratings need evidence

We do not add star ratings or testing claims to content that has not been evaluated with documented criteria. A product being listed does not mean it has been hands-on tested.

Sources and pricing

Product claims should link to a relevant source. Pricing can change, so readers should check the vendor’s current plan details. When an article quotes a price, it should state the billing interval and verification date.

Guest contributions and tool-owner submissions

Submissions are free and require editorial review before publication. We look for originality, relevance, evidence, useful examples, and clear disclosures. Submissions may be edited, declined, or held for further information.

Commercial relationships

Contributors must disclose ownership, sponsorship, free access, and affiliate relationships relevant to their article. Any sponsored content or affiliate links should be labelled on the page where they appear.

Corrections

If a claim appears wrong or outdated, contact the editorial team with the page URL and a source. We review correction requests and update content where appropriate.
