The new AI tools and GitHub repos we scored, each with its score, a line on what it does and a dated source. Free. Tools we earn a commission on are labelled Our pick, and their scores never move for money.
What is in each issue
- New tools and repos. The tools and GitHub repos we scored since the last issue, each with its score and a line on what it does.
- AI news, checked. The launches worth knowing about, each linked to its primary source and dated.
- Price changes, when we verify one. If a plan changes price or shape and we confirm it on the vendor’s own page, it goes in with the date we checked.
- One Our pick, labelled. If we earn a commission on it we say so, and it never changes a score.

The data behind it
Each issue is built from the same records as the site: the Free Tier Ledger, every tool we score and the rubric we score them against.
How we keep it honest
- Scores come from a published rubric, and no commercial relationship changes a score. See how we score.
- Tools we earn a commission on are labelled Our pick and listed first.
- You confirm by email first. Every issue has a one-click unsubscribe, and we never sell your address.
