About
An independent scoreboard, not a review section
Agent Verdict exists because the AI app builder category moves faster than any review cycle can follow, and because the comparison pages that do exist are mostly written by the vendors being compared. A scoreboard is a better fit for the problem: publish the votes, publish the weights, publish the count, and let the order fall out of the arithmetic.
What we publish
Two boards, one for AI app builders and one for coding agents, each ranked into S, A, B and C tier bands. Every entry carries a community score from 0 to 1000, the raw number of votes behind it, a weekly rank change and a head to head record from the duel pages. Alongside that there are opinion pages per tool, duels, a weekly movers record and short Pulse reports explaining movement.
How we stay independent
No entry pays to be listed. No entry pays for placement. No vendor sees a score before it publishes, no vendor gets a preview of a report, and outbound links to vendor sites carry nofollow so there is no SEO incentive for anyone to court us. We have no affiliate relationships with tools on the board.
Independence also means being explicit about our own footprint. Launch scores include votes from our own testing panel, and those are badged Editor panel wherever they appear rather than blended into an anonymous average. The full disclosure lives on the scoring page.
Why the order differs from other boards
Because the weights differ, and ours are published. Design carries 22 of the 100 points here and raw speed 21, which is far more than an enterprise scorecard would allocate to either. That allocation reflects what the building community votes on, and it produces a different ranking from a board written for procurement committees.
We think publishing a stated bias is more useful than claiming neutrality. Every number needed to recompute the ranking under your own weights is available as CC-BY-4.0 licensed JSON and CSV. If your version disagrees with ours, both can be right, and you will know exactly why.
Editorial standards
Claims about a tool are checked against a source we can link, and those sources are listed on the tool page with the date each was checked. Where we could not verify something, the row says so instead of guessing. Written opinions are reviewed before publishing, filtered for vendor marketing copy and competitor astroturf, and never edited for substance.
Corrections are published rather than absorbed. If a row was wrong, we change it, update the Last verified date on that row, and note the change as a dated Pulse report. A scoreboard people are meant to cite has to have a visible correction history.
Data protection
Agent Verdict is the named data controller for this site. Voting uses an anonymous first party cookie rather than an account, so we do not hold a profile for a voter. Contact and opinion submissions hold only what you typed. The privacy page sets out the legal bases, retention periods and how to exercise your rights, and the cookies page lists every cookie we set.
Contact
One address for everything: hello@agent-verdict.com. Corrections, tool submissions, data protection requests, press and research enquiries all go there, or through the contact form, which routes by topic.
Questions
About who we are
Who runs Agent Verdict?
Agent Verdict is run by a small independent editorial and engineering team. It is not operated by, funded by or affiliated with any of the tools ranked on it. Correspondence goes to hello@agent-verdict.com.
How does Agent Verdict make money?
It does not currently take money from anyone listed on the board. There is no paid placement, no sponsored tier and no affiliate revenue on the outbound vendor links, which carry nofollow. If that changes it will be disclosed on the scoring page before it takes effect.
Can a vendor get their tool added?
Yes, through the contact form, same route as everyone else. The panel then runs the board brief on it and it enters wherever the votes put it. Being submitted by a vendor gets a tool assessed; it does not get it a band.
Can a vendor get a score changed?
A vendor can get a factual error corrected, and we will do that quickly and note it. A vendor cannot get a score or band changed, because scores come from votes rather than from us. Disagreeing with the weights is legitimate, and the fix for that is to reweight the public data, not to argue about ours.
