Methodology

Tool counts, category breakdowns, and pricing distribution are computed in real time from the AIapps tool database (revalidated every hour). Search-demand rankings come from Google Search Console click data aggregated over the most recent 90-day window and joined to each tool's primary category.

Tool inclusion criteria: each listing must have a verifiable landing page, a documented feature set, and editorial review by the AIapps team before publication. New tools are added daily via both editorial review and a paid submission queue.
