// how we test
// commitment 01
We use the tool for at least 14 days on actual work before we write about it. No synthetic demos. No paid-pitch tours.
// commitment 02
Every price on this site carries a "verified on YYYY-MM-DD" footnote. SaaS prices move; our copy moves with them.
// commitment 03
Affiliate links are disclosed at the top of every review. We tell you when we'd kill a tool from our own coverage — and we mean it.
// the difference
"Top 10 AI tools" articles are written by writers who opened the homepage and skimmed the docs.
We're creators and engineers using these tools daily — the same Higgsfield account that pays our subscription generates the reels in our portfolio. The Cursor codebase we review is the one that ships our other ventures.
That changes what we can say. We'd notice if a tool degrades. We notice the small things that compound — onboarding pain, billing weirdness, model drift, support quality.
// you can verify any of this. that's the point.
