We compare AI tools using official documentation and published pricing, and run small, dated tests of our own where we can, so you can see what each one offers before you commit. No paid placements.
Categories follow the task, not the vendor, so comparable tools sit side by side.
We asked ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Consensus for five peer-reviewed papers each and checked all 20 references against Crossref. Every paper was real; Consensus gave three DOIs that open unrelated studies.

Most comparisons reflect published information rather than measured performance. Where we ran a small test ourselves, the section says so and gives the date, the input and the result.
Comparisons are built from vendor documentation, official product pages and other publicly available information that you can check for yourself.
Prices come from the vendor published pricing page at the time an article is written or reviewed. Pricing changes often, so confirm it with the vendor before subscribing.
No vendor can pay for placement, a higher position or a better verdict. Commercial relationships never affect the order.
There is no fixed update schedule. When a change is noticed or reported the article is revised, and confirmed factual errors are corrected.
Affiliate links are disclosed on every page that carries them, and they are never a factor in what we recommend.
