● FAQ

Comparing AI tools, explained.

Methodology, update cadence, and how to request a missing comparison.

Need a specific comparison?

Use ⌘K to search by tool name. Or browse by category to see all same-category comparisons.

Read our long-form guides →How we score →Submit a tool →

01How are these comparisons scored?

Every tool gets a BigBang Score 0-100 from seven weighted signals: pricing transparency, free tier, API support, update frequency, unique factor, documentation, and community. Each comparison renders the per-axis bar so you can see exactly where one tool edges the other.

02Why only same-category comparisons?

Comparing across categories (e.g., an image generator vs. a coding assistant) doesn't help you decide. We only generate comparison pages for tools that solve the same problem - that's where the buying decision actually lives.

03How often are comparisons updated?

Whenever either tool ships a major version, raises a price, or changes a tier. Tool data refreshes weekly via official changelogs, and the comparison page re-renders automatically on the next deploy.

04Can I request a comparison?

Yes. Email [email protected] with the two tool slugs (e.g., 'cursor vs windsurf') and we'll prioritize it if both are in the index. If one isn't yet indexed, submit it via /submit first.
