EDITORIAL METHODOLOGY

How we review AI tools

How every tool in this catalog gets evaluated, written up and re-reviewed, and why you can trust the verdict on each page.

EDITED BY
FSFaisal SaleemFounder & Editor, ConsistencyAI

I’ve been building products with LLMs since GPT-3, ship code professionally, and run the catalog as a one-person editorial team.

“Every Editor’s take on the site is written by me, not by a model.”

OUR PROMISES

What we promise

Hands-on, not press releaseEvery tool listed has been opened, signed up for and used for real work. If a tool's claims don't match what we see in the product, the entry says so.
A verdict on every pageThe Editor's take on each tool page is hand-written by a real person, usually Faisal, answering one question: who is this best for, and who should skip it?
Re-reviewed when things changeWe re-check pricing pages, feature lists and free-tier limits on a rolling cadence, and bump the Reviewed date when we do.
No paid placements, everOrder, ranking and Editor's Pick status are never sold. Affiliate commission, where it exists, never changes inclusion, ranking or the verdict.
THE PROCESS

How a tool gets reviewed

Every entry in the catalog goes through the same seven steps before it ships.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

What money can’t buy

ConsistencyAI is independent and self-funded. No vendor pays for any of these. If we ever earn affiliate commission on a click-through, it’s disclosed here and never changes what the editor says. Editor’s Pick is editorial only.
