Editorial Policy
How platforms get evaluated, scored and ranked on this site — and what we will not do.
Independence
Rankings and written opinions are produced independently of affiliate compensation. No platform can buy a position, a score, or an edit to a review.
Verification standard
We do not publish figures we have not checked. Pricing, limits and capabilities carry a verification date, and anything unverified is labelled as pending instead of guessed. We do not claim hands-on testing unless that testing has been carried out and published.
Corrections
If something here is out of date or wrong, tell us and we will correct it and note the change on the page.
Methodology
How We Rank AI App Builders
Our overall score is based on a weighted evaluation of product capabilities, usability, pricing and value, flexibility, and suitability for different types of users. Scores are editorial judgements based on publicly documented product information; where a criterion has not yet been verified for a platform, we mark it as pending rather than estimate it. We do not claim hands-on testing for any platform on this site until that testing has been carried out and published.
