Toolhunter is a curated directory of the best AI tools on the internet. Rather than auto-scraping every product that slaps "AI" on its landing page, Toolhunter hand-organizes more than 1,500 tools across 54 categories — spanning copywriting, transcription, image and video generation, developer tools, design, social media, and dozens more — so that creators, founders, marketers, and teams can find the right tool for the job without wading through the noise.
What sets Toolhunter apart is rigor. Every listing is categorized and reviewed, and the underlying data is kept honest: pricing is verified against each tool's live pricing page rather than scraped once and left to go stale, dead or pivoted products are pruned from the catalog, and hand-written side-by-side comparisons help you choose between close alternatives. It's an independent, neutral reference where tools earn their place on merit — which is precisely what makes the directory worth trusting.
Beyond the listings, Toolhunter publishes original, data-driven research on the AI-tools landscape, drawn from its own dataset: pricing studies (the median AI tool starts around $15/month), category-saturation maps of where builders actually cluster, and full cost breakdowns of complete AI tool stacks. Tool makers can submit their products to be listed, and the catalog is continuously refreshed as the space evolves. The result is a living, credible map of the AI ecosystem — comprehensive enough to be your starting point, and curated enough to be worth returning to.
