How We Compare
AI Tools

Transparent. You decide.

CompareMyAI.io is an independent comparison platform. This page explains exactly how we work, where our data comes from, and how we score tools — so you can judge our judgments.

01

What we are

We're an aggregator, not a testing lab. We gather, verify, and structure publicly available information about AI tools so you can compare them side by side in one place. We don't run tools through hands-on lab tests, and we'll never claim to. What we do is bring scattered, often unclear information — pricing, features, security, compliance — into one consistent, honest format.

02

Where our data comes from

Every data point we publish comes from a verifiable source:

  • The tool's official website and pricing pages
  • Published documentation
  • Official security and compliance certifications
  • The providers' own terms of service and privacy policies

When something can't be verified from an official source, we mark it as unconfirmed rather than guess.

03

How we score tools

Our scores reflect how tools compare across the factors that matter to real users. Each tool is assessed on the same criteria:

  • Pricing and value for money
  • Features and capabilities
  • Security and compliance (GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001)
  • Data handling and training policies
  • Integrations and API access
  • Free-tier availability

A score is a structured comparison of published facts — not a personal opinion and not the result of hands-on testing. Two tools scoring 8.2 and 8.1 are genuinely close; small differences reflect small distinctions in the underlying data, not a definitive ranking.

Your best choice depends on your specific needs, which is why we show you the full picture rather than just a winner.

04

How we keep data current

AI tools change their pricing and features frequently. We re-check our listings on a regular cycle and every tool shows a “last verified” date so you know how fresh the information is. If you spot something out of date, tell us — accuracy is the whole point.

05

How we make money

We earn affiliate commissions when you click through to some tools and sign up. This is clearly labelled wherever it appears. Crucially, affiliate relationships never influence our rankings, our scores, or which tools we include.

A tool we earn nothing from is ranked exactly the same way as one we do. We'd rather lose a commission than lose your trust.

06

What we don't do

  • Accept payment for better rankings
  • Let vendors edit their own scores
  • Hide our affiliate links
  • Claim to test tools we haven't tested

If we ever fall short of this, we want to hear about it.
