How we score

Choose with clarity.

Every agent is scored on the same six checks. Here's what each one asks, and what it's worth.

  1. An AI assistant gathers the evidence

    It reads pricing pages, release notes and reviews, and drafts each score with a source.

  2. A person reviews every score

    Nothing goes live until the final list is approved.

  3. It's refreshed every month

    A full re-rank monthly, a check for big changes weekly, and every move logged in a dated changelog.

    Is there real help if a follow-up goes wrong?

Scores rest on public pages and hands-on trials, and a person approves every list.

  1. Human approval gates

    We check where an agent stops for your OK before it emails a customer, spends money or changes your records, and the scorecard says so.

  2. Every score shows its reasons

    Each agent's page lists the six scores, a short note on each, and the pages the score rests on.

  3. No one can pay to rank

    Companies can send corrections with evidence. They can't buy a place. Affiliate links are labelled and never change a score.
