Community guidelines

This site is only useful if the reviews are honest. That is the whole product.

Only review what you have used

A review is worth reading because the person writing it has actually used the product. Impressions from a demo video, a screenshot, or someone else’s opinion are not.

One review per product

Each person gets one review per product. You can say a product is bad — you cannot say it three times. This is enforced technically, not just asked for.

Be specific about what happened

What you used it for, what worked, what did not. “It is terrible” helps nobody decide anything. “Agent mode broke on multi-file edits in a large repo” does.

Do not review your own product

Reviewing a product you built, work on, or are paid to promote is the fastest way to make this whole site worthless. Company responses are a separate feature.

No personal attacks

Criticise the product, not the people who made it. Reviews naming or targeting individuals get removed.

Keep it a review, not an ad

Referral links, promo codes, and “try my alternative instead” are removed. A single link for context is fine.

How moderation works

Most reviews publish immediately. Some are held for a human to look at first — typically when a review contains several links, or repeats text posted elsewhere on the site. Being brief or negative does not hold a review back.

Anyone can report a review. Reports go to the same queue. A reported review stays visible until someone reviews the report, because taking reviews down on accusation alone would make the site trivial to censor.

Removed reviews stop counting toward a product's score straight away.

How the score works

The headline score is the mean of every published review, on a 1–10 scale. There is no weighting, no editorial adjustment, and no way to pay for a better one.

The trend badge compares the last 30 days against the 30 before it, so a product that has improved — or slipped — shows it rather than being averaged flat forever.

Category ratings are optional for reviewers, so a category only appears once enough people have scored it. A product with no reviews shows no score at all, rather than a zero.
