Rankings and comparisons of software and AI tools, built from public sources.
GAX Online is a small, independent publication. We rank and compare SaaS, AI tools, developer tools, hosting, fintech and web3 products, and we publish analysis of the markets around them. This page explains how that content is made, including where AI is involved.
A small team, AI-assisted drafting, public sources.
We do not have a newsroom of named editors, so our work is credited to GAX Online Editorial. Here is what actually happens before something is published.
Public sources
Reviews start from public information: the vendor's own site, documentation and pricing pages, Product Hunt launches, and public registries such as the FDA database where they apply.
AI-assisted drafting
Drafts, scores and comparisons are written with the help of AI models working from those sources. We do not run lab tests, and we do not claim hands-on testing we have not done.
Checks and cleanup
Drafts go through automated checks for formatting and common AI writing problems. Facts such as pricing are checked by hand when a page is reviewed or a correction comes in. Mistakes still get through, which is why corrections matter.
Corrections
When a reader or a vendor shows us something is wrong, we check it against the primary source and fix the page. Recent example: a product listed as a monthly subscription that is really a one-time purchase.
How the site is funded, and what that does not buy.
Ads
The site shows display ads. Advertisers have no say over what we write or how products score.
Sponsored placements
Companies can pay to be mentioned in an article or reviewed. Every paid mention is labelled Sponsored and its links carry rel="sponsored". Payment never changes a score or a ranking position.
Outbound links
Some "Visit website" buttons may earn us a commission. Those links are marked rel="sponsored" and do not affect scores.
Scores
Ranking order comes from each product's score. How scores are produced is explained on the methodology page.
Two addresses, both read by a person.
Corrections
