Every piece of content on ComputerTech exists for one reason: to help you choose the right AI tool for your needs. Here’s exactly how we make that happen.
Our Review Philosophy
We believe AI tool reviews should be built on real experience, not marketing copy. Too many review sites rewrite press releases and call it journalism. We take a different approach:
- We sign up for tools and use them for real tasks
- We pay for premium plans when free tiers don’t tell the full story
- We test features against the claims the company makes
- We compare results against competing tools in the same category
- We report what we actually find — good, bad, and everything in between
Our 6-Step Review Process
1. Research & Discovery
We continuously monitor the AI tool landscape — new launches, major updates, industry shifts, and emerging categories. When a tool catches our attention through user demand, search trends, or genuine innovation, we begin our evaluation.
2. Hands-On Testing
This is the foundation of every review. We create a real account, explore the interface, and run the tool through practical use cases that match how actual users would deploy it. For AI writing tools, we write real content. For image generators, we create real images. For SEO tools, we analyze real websites. No synthetic benchmarks — real work.
3. Feature & Pricing Verification
Every feature claim and pricing detail is verified against the tool’s official documentation and current website. We check free plan limitations, paid tier differences, and any hidden costs. If pricing has changed since we published, we update the article.
4. Competitive Context
No tool exists in a vacuum. We evaluate how each tool compares to its direct competitors on key dimensions: quality of output, ease of use, pricing value, unique capabilities, and integration ecosystem. Every review links to alternatives so you can make a fully informed decision.
5. Honest Assessment
We write our review with a clear structure: what the tool does, who it’s for, what’s good, what’s not, how it compares, and whether we recommend it. Every review includes:
- Real pros and cons — not sanitized marketing points
- Specific use case recommendations — who should (and shouldn’t) use this tool
- Pricing analysis — whether the tool delivers value at its price point
- A clear verdict — our honest recommendation
6. Ongoing Maintenance
AI tools evolve rapidly. We regularly revisit published reviews to update pricing, new features, changed limitations, and shifts in the competitive landscape. Every article displays its last updated date, and our automated monitoring flags content that needs refreshing.

Our Scoring Approach
Rather than assigning arbitrary numerical scores, we focus on contextual recommendations. A tool that’s perfect for a freelancer might be terrible for an enterprise team. A free tool that’s “good enough” beats an expensive tool you don’t need.
Every review clearly states who the tool is best for, who should look elsewhere, and what alternatives to consider.

Editorial Independence
Some links on this site are affiliate links (full disclosure). Our reviews are never influenced by affiliate relationships. We recommend tools because they’re genuinely good — not because they pay us more. If a tool with a great affiliate program isn’t worth recommending, we won’t recommend it.
