RawPickAI is an independent AI tool review site where every tool is tested hands-on for 20+ minutes before getting a score. We score on 5 dimensions (0-100 each): Ease of Use, Output Quality, Value for Money, Feature Depth, and Free Tier. No sponsored rankings. No affiliate-driven lists. 47+ reviews, 10+ head-to-head comparisons, 8+ curated best-of lists, and 4 interactive decision tools including an AI Tool Quiz and Free Tier Comparison.
I'm Ash, and I built RawPickAI because I got tired of AI tool review sites that never actually used the tools they were recommending.
You know the pattern: a site ranks Jasper #1 because Jasper has the highest affiliate payout, not because it's the best writing tool. Another site copies Jasper's marketing page and calls it a "review." A third writes a 3,000-word "best of" list with no evidence anyone on the team ever opened these tools.
So I built the thing I wanted to exist: a review site where every tool gets tested hands-on for at least 20 minutes before I write a single word about it. Every review gets scored across 5 dimensions on a 0-100 scale, Ease of Use, Output Quality, Value for Money, Feature Depth, and Free Tier. You can see exactly why a tool scored 72 instead of 85.
What's live right now:
→ 47+ tool reviews with transparent scoring (Cursor, Claude, Midjourney, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and more)
→ 10+ head-to-head comparisons (Cursor vs Windsurf, Claude vs ChatGPT, Runway vs Pika)
The honest part: some of these reviews are negative. I say when tools are overpriced, when "free tiers" are actually demos, and when popular tools don't live up to the hype. That's the whole point.
Built with Next.js 14, deployed on Vercel. Self-funded, solo operation.
I'd love your feedback on:
- Which tools should I review next?
- What comparisons would actually help you decide?

Who hunted RawPickAI?
RawPickAI was hunted by Ash K. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.
