How we score
Six criteria, fixed weights, the same for every tool, including Crevio.
Updated November 11, 2026
A human cofounder fills one or more of four seats: the strategist who finds the idea, the builder who makes it, the seller who brings in customers, and the operator who keeps it running. We score every tool on each seat from 0 to 10, then add two criteria any founder would ask about: is it worth the money, and can I trust it?
Example: Crevio's four seats
The six criteria
| Criterion | Weight | The question we ask |
|---|---|---|
| Idea | 15% | Does it help you choose what to build and for whom: research, validation, positioning and a plan? |
| Build | 20% | Does it make the actual product, site or app, and keep it working when things break? |
| Sell | 20% | Can it take payments and bring in customers: launch, email, social, ads and outreach? |
| Run | 25% | Does it keep working after launch without you starting every task: support, follow-ups, reporting and fixes? |
| Value | 10% | What a month really costs, counting usage credits and any cut of your revenue. |
| Trust | 10% | Refunds, data export, who holds the payments and the customer list, and what real users report. |
Why Run counts most
Building a website or an app from a prompt is now table stakes; a dozen tools do it well. What separates an AI cofounder from an AI tool is what happens the week after launch: who answers the first customer, who follows up, who notices that checkout broke. So the Run seat carries a quarter of the score.
What each score means
- 9 to 10: Does this job itself, well, with little setup, and keeps doing it.
- 7 to 8: Does most of the job; some parts need you or an integration.
- 4 to 6: Helps with the job, but you do much of the work.
- 1 to 3: Barely touches this job.
Where the facts come from
Prices, plans, fees and refund terms come from each company's own pricing pages, terms and documentation, checked on the date shown on its review. Ratings come from public review sites and link to the source; we only show ratings we read ourselves. When a fact couldn't be confirmed, the review says so.
Scores are our editorial judgment on this rubric. We haven't run every tool on a live business, and we don't claim to have. Crevio is our own product, so we know it far better than the others; to keep that from tilting the rankings, its score uses the same published criteria and its review lists its weaknesses.
Overall score
Overall = Idea × 15% + Build × 20% + Sell × 20% + Run × 25% + Value × 10% + Trust × 10%, rounded to one decimal. Ties are broken alphabetically.
Updates
We re-check prices when a company announces changes and at least every quarter. Companies can send corrections through our about page; we fix factual errors and note the date. Nobody can pay for a higher score.
