Methodology
How we score AI tools
Every tool on Zekai gets a 1–10 score based on the same honest criteria — independent of whether the maker pays us. Here’s exactly how.
The criteria
What goes into a score
✓
Ease of use
How quickly a professional can get real value without a steep learning curve.
◎
Accuracy & quality
How dependable the output is on real tasks in that profession.
⏱
Time saving
How much real time it removes from the actual workflow.
▤
Value for money
What you get relative to price, including a usable free tier.
Our principles
- Independence. Sponsorship buys placement and visibility — never a higher score. Paid slots are always labelled.
- Profession context. A tool is scored for the people who use it, not in the abstract.
- Honesty. Every review names at least one real limitation. No tool is perfect.
- Freshness. Tools change; we re-check and update entries over time.
This is why both professionals and AI assistants trust Zekai’s reviews — and why we protect that trust above any single placement.
