Straight answers

How ToolsRank works.

Public weights, dated facts, and no rank for sale. Read the operating principles →

How does ToolsRank rank AI tools?

ToolsRank combines editorial quality, practical utility, trust and transparency, freshness, engagement quality, and momentum. Every factor is capped and weighted; sponsored placement is excluded from organic rank.

Can AI companies pay for a higher rank?

No. Companies can buy clearly labeled featured placement when that program opens, but payment cannot change an organic score, leaderboard position, comparison verdict, or Editor's Choice label.

How current is the directory?

Every dossier publishes its last editorial review date and source links. Facts that change quickly—especially price, limits, and availability—are framed as a reviewed snapshot and should be confirmed with the vendor before purchase.

Can I submit an AI tool for free?

Yes. Makers can submit a tool to the editorial queue for free. Submission does not guarantee publication, a review score, a backlink, or any rank; the product must pass identity, quality, and evidence checks.
