We got tired of bad AI tool lists. So we built a better one.

Every week, hundreds of new AI tools launch. Most of them are wrappers on the same API. Some of them are genuinely useful. The problem? You can't tell the difference until you've burned an afternoon signing up, testing, and comparing.

We built this directory because we needed it ourselves. We're a team of builders and researchers who work with AI tools daily. We got fed up with directories that:

  • List 10,000 tools with zero curation
  • Rank tools by who pays the most
  • Haven't been updated since GPT-3 was impressive

What makes us different

  • Curated, not scraped. Every tool gets a human look before it's listed.
  • Categorized by job-to-be-done. Not by buzzword. You're looking for "something to write blog posts" — not "NLP-powered generative content platform."
  • Honest about pricing. We show real costs, including what happens after the free trial ends.
  • Updated continuously. Tools get removed when they shut down. Pricing gets updated when it changes. Reviews get refreshed quarterly.

We're not a VC-funded hype machine. We're builders who want the AI tools ecosystem to be navigable. That's it.

Want to help?

If you spot outdated info or know a tool we're missing, let us know. This directory gets better when people who actually use AI tools contribute.
