ShelbyAI's answer:

Every AI tool is tested hands-on for 7-14 days with real workflows — not quick demos or rewritten product pages. Ratings use a weighted scoring system (Output Quality 30%, Value 25%, Ease of Use 20%, Features 15%, Support 10%) with zero sponsored rankings.

ShelbyAI's answer:

Most AI tool directories just list tools with a description. ShelbyAI publishes in-depth reviews with real test data, head-to-head comparisons with per-scenario winners, and pricing breakdowns with specific plan recommendations. We tell you which tool NOT to buy, not just which one to click.

ShelbyAI's answer:

Freelancers, content creators, and small business teams (1-10 people) who want to use AI tools to produce more content without hiring more people. Typically solopreneurs, marketing managers, and small agency owners evaluating AI video, writing, SEO, and automation tools.

ShelbyAI's answer:

ShelbyAI started because most AI tool "reviews" are barely-disguised affiliate sales pages with no real testing. We wanted to build the resource we wished existed — honest, data-driven reviews where every tool gets the same rigorous testing process and no company can pay for a higher score.

ShelbyAI's answer:

Next.js 15, React 19, TailwindCSS 4, MDX for content, Supabase for user features, and Vercel for hosting.

ShelbyAI's answer:

Freelance content creators evaluating AI writing tools, small marketing teams comparing video and SEO platforms, solopreneurs building their first AI tool stack, agency owners looking for cost-effective AI solutions.
