How we verify
AI Tools Hub is built on verification, not scraping. Listings are machine-checked so you can trust live status, pricing, and free-tier claims. The full verification engine ships in a later phase; here's what it checks.
Live status
Every tool URL is pinged on a schedule; unreachable tools are flagged and their freshness score drops.
Real pricing
Pricing is read from the tool's own pricing page and hashed — when it changes, we record a change event.
Free-tier reality
A “verified free” badge is only shown when a genuine, card-free tier is confirmed — never assumed from marketing copy.
Freshness score
A 0–100 score reflects how recently and successfully a tool was verified.
