Editorial Policy & Methodology

How I test, grade, and review AI tools, and what I do when I get something wrong.

Who writes this site

URankMyAI is written and maintained by one person: Jeandy Miranda, a software developer with over 8 years in software architecture and automation. There is no team and no testing lab. When this page says "I", it means one named human who can be held to what he publishes.

My editorial commitment

The goal is simple: help you find the right AI tool for your work without a sales pitch attached. I don't publish rewritten marketing copy or copy-pasted feature lists. Every review here comes from actually using the tool.

My 5-step testing method

Every tool goes through the same five steps:

1. Direct hands-on testing

I don't review tools from demo videos or press kits. I register an account — paying for the premium tier myself or using a developer licence — and use the tool for real work. If it's a coding assistant, I write and compile code with it. If it's a video generator, I render and export projects.

2. Real-world task scenarios

Instead of abstract benchmarks, I design specific test cases per category:

3. Price-to-value assessment

I go through pricing models line by line. A tool that performs well but costs ten times its closest competitor can still score low on value. I flag the hidden limits — token caps, execution time limits, usage throttles — that tend to live in the fine print.

4. Structured comparison

Every tool is compared against its direct alternatives using the same test files and the same prompt sets. Same input, different tools: that's the only way the differences mean anything.

5. Updates

AI tools change fast and a review can go stale in weeks. I revisit an article when the tool ships a significant update or changes its pricing, and the "last updated" date on each article reflects the last time it was actually edited — not an automatic timestamp. If you find something out of date, tell me and I'll fix it.

How I score tools

Overall scores (out of 10) are a weighted average of four dimensions:

Affiliate transparency and editorial independence

I take part in affiliate programs. If you click certain links and buy something, I may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. It covers hosting and the subscriptions I pay for to test these tools.

That relationship has no bearing on the reviews:

Corrections

If I've got something wrong — pricing, a feature, a model detail — tell me. I review corrections and update the article. Write to inforank@urankmyai.com or use the contact page.
