The complete voting rules on The AI Tools Index: signed-in accounts only, one vote per listing per day, no bought votes and no bots.

Date: 2026-07-23

The voting rules on The AI Tools Index fit in one sentence: only signed-in accounts vote, one vote per listing per account per day, and there are no anonymous, bought, or bot votes. Sponsored placements exist — and they always carry the sponsored label, separate from organic results.

A ranking is only useful if its numbers mean something. We prefer small real numbers to big hollow ones: when a listing climbs here, it climbed because signed-in people voted for it that day.
