How the score works
- Web traffic
- Up to 40 points. RankmyAI's top 100 AI tools by web visits (Similarweb data). Number 1 gets 40, number 100 gets 0.4. Not in the top 100 gets 0.
- App Store
- Up to 25 points. Apple's top free and top grossing charts in 12 countries, 24 charts in all. Each chart gives up to 1 point (number 1 gets 1, number 100 gets 0.01).
- a16z list
- Up to 15 points. Rank on the latest a16z Top 100 Gen AI Consumer Apps (web, mobile or revenue list, the best one). Number 1 gets 15.
- Growth
- Up to 10 points. 10 if a named source shows revenue or users at least doubled in 12 months or less. 5 for a named 2025 or 2026 growth number or funding round. 0 if none found.
- Reviews
- Up to 10 points. G2 stars, only with 100 reviews or more. 5.0 stars gets 10, 4.5 gets 5, 4.0 or less gets 0.
A tool with no number for a part gets 0 for that part. No company pays to be on this list or to move up. The App Store and web traffic parts update every Monday. The rest I check by hand.
