Which AI model
should you use?
We run every model on the same real jobs, grade the results blind, and show you what each one costs per usable result.

How we test
Same prompt, every model
Identical briefs, settings and reference images. Our Reference Kit is public, so you can rerun any test.
Graded blind
Four graders score outputs without knowing which model made them, on a rubric written for that job. We correct for strict and generous graders and say how much they agreed.
Cost per usable result
We count the retries it took, so you see what a good result really costs, not just the list price.
Scores are never for sale. Sponsored evaluations are labeled, and sponsors never see results before they're published. Read our methodology.
