8.0How AIToolTier ranks
Every tool scores on four axes (ease of use, output quality, value, features), averaged into a 0-10 overall score that determines tier placement: S (9.0+), A (8.0-8.9), B (7.0-7.9), C (6.0-6.9), D (5.0-5.9), F (below 5.0). Scores are set by the editorial team based on cross-referenced public data, hands-on testing, and current known-issue tracking -- never by vendor input. Read the full methodology.
