The AI tools
we would actually keep.

We pay for our own subscriptions, run them through real work, and score what survives out of 100. No sponsors, no padding.

Cursor

Keep

The only editor that reads your repo before it edits. Worth the switch if you live in a real codebase.

Keep

Search that answers and cites its work. It quietly replaced a dozen open tabs in our workflow.

Runway
Video
Solid

Generated B-roll is finally usable. Hero shots still want a real camera, but the gap is closing fast.

Solid

Content scoring that actually maps to what ranks. The editor nags as you write, in a useful way.

Notion AI
Productivity

Genuinely handy where your docs already live. Thin value if the AI is the only reason you are paying.

Method

No sponsors. No affiliate weighting. We score the tools we would actually use.

Hands-on

Every score comes out of real projects, not a feature checklist or a vendor demo.

Real pricing

We test the plan you would actually buy, at the price you would actually pay for it.

Re-scored

These tools move fast, so we revisit every score at least once a quarter.
