Weekly Tool Rankings

Free or Pro: honest rankings either way

The free newsletter is genuinely useful on its own. Pro is for people who want every ranking, every score, and a searchable database. Same rules for both: sponsors never affect rankings.

The honest fine print

  • Founding pricing is a test. We may change prices for new members; if you join now, you keep your price while subscribed.
  • Scores are still maturing. Current scores are preliminary, based on published features, pricing, and privacy/age terms. We haven't started hands-on testing yet; when we do, each score will say whether it was hands-on.
  • Pro doesn't buy influence. Neither do sponsors. Read how we rank and make money.

Frequently asked questions

What does Tool Rankings Pro cost?

Founding-member pricing is $6 per month or $48 per year (USD). Prices may change for new members later; founding members keep their price while subscribed.

What's free?

The weekly Top 3, one copy-paste workflow, and the Skip It pick are free forever.

Can I cancel?

Yes, anytime, from the link in your receipt email. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for.

Do sponsors or Pro subscribers affect rankings?

No. Paying for Pro gets you more rankings, not different ones. Sponsors never affect scores or rank.

Is Pro for students?

Pro is for adults 18+ (teachers, parents, adult learners). Students under 18 should use the free tier or ask a parent or teacher.
