Our method

How every review earns its score

Rankings on TechPilot.ai are earned, not bought. Every review follows the same four-step process, so scores are comparable across tools.

Read our review policy
  1. Tested hands-on

    Our editors use each tool on real tasks before we publish a score. No rewritten press releases.

    ✓ 248 tools tested
  2. Scored on 4 criteria

    Ease of use, integrations, functionality, and pricing are each rated out of 10, then averaged.

    ✓ Same rubric for every tool
  3. Transparent by default

    Affiliate relationships are disclosed. No tool can pay to change its score or its ranking.

    ✓ Disclosure on every page
  4. Kept current

    We revisit reviews when tools change features or pricing, and each review shows when it was published or last updated.

    ✓ Dated reviews

Questions readers ask us

Straight answers about how we test, how we make money, and who writes what.

Is TechPilot.ai reliable?

Every tool review is based on hands-on use, scored with the same 4-criteria rubric, and dated. Guides are signed by one of our 9 named authors, each with a public profile. We publish our full testing method and editorial rules.

See how we test
How does TechPilot.ai make money?

Some links on the site are affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Commissions never change a tool's score or its position in our rankings.

Read our editorial policy
Can a company pay for a better score or ranking?

No. Scores come only from our rubric, and rankings are sorted by score. Vendors have no say in what we write or how we score their tools.

How is a tool's score calculated?

Each tool is rated from 0 to 10 on ease of use, integrations, functionality, and pricing. The overall score is the plain average of those 4 ratings. Across the 248 tools we have scored, overall scores currently range from 7 to 9.6.

Scoring details
Who writes the reviews and guides?

Guides are written by named experts, and every byline links to the author's profile and other work. Tool reviews are produced by our review team. Our editorial team, led by co-founders Mihai (Mike) Bizz and Eimantas Kazėnas, reviews every piece for quality and adherence to our guidelines.

How do you keep reviews up to date?

We watch tools for changes to features and pricing and revise reviews when they change. Each review shows when it was published or last updated, so you can judge how current it is.
