How providers are reviewed
We start with the buyer's job. For each provider, we identify the workload it serves best, verify public prices against a provider-owned page, and note the integration path, trial terms and material limitations.
The main ranking weights practical unit economics at 30%, fit for repeatable workloads at 25%, migration and API fit at 20%, pricing transparency at 15%, and catalog flexibility at 10%. The score is editorial judgment, not a laboratory benchmark.
What the ranking does not claim
A small open model is not equivalent to a frontier model simply because both accept text. We do not infer quality from token price. Unless an article describes a repeatable benchmark, comparisons are desk research based on public documentation.
Corrections and commercial enquiries
AI pricing changes quickly. If a rate, policy or product detail is wrong, email [email protected] with a provider-owned source. Questions about advertising or collaboration belong on the contact page. Material sponsorships will be disclosed where they apply.
