Our editorial standards
- Independent and editor-curated. We are AI-only and review every listing.
- Rankings cannot be bought — ever. Listing requires a flat submission fee, but scores and positions are never for sale.
- Re-checked on a rolling schedule. Pricing, model lists, and ownership are re-verified against the vendor's own pages, and every profile shows the date it was last checked.
- Every update cites a primary source. Each change links to the official changelog, blog, or filing it came from.
- Corrections are visible. When we get something wrong, we fix it in the open.
Who HokAI is for
- Power users & creators — niche tools, model comparisons, and workflow ideas.
- Developers & founders — pricing, context windows, benchmarks, and changelogs to spec a real stack.
- Teams & procurement — compliance posture, data handling, and vendor detail for internal reviews.
How a listing is verified
Every record starts from the vendor's own pages, not from a press release or a model's memory: the pricing page, the plan comparison, the documentation, the changelog and the security or trust page. Prices, plan names, limits and compliance claims are copied from those pages with the date they were read. Anything the vendor does not publish is left blank rather than guessed.
A record is re-read against the same pages on a rolling schedule. When a price or plan has moved, the record is changed and the "checked" date on the page is the date of that re-read. The date is never advanced by an automated rewrite; it moves only when a person or a source-checking pass has compared the page to the vendor again.
Ratings and fit scores are HokAI's own editorial assessment. They are not supplied by vendors, cannot be bought, and are not affected by whether a vendor has paid the flat listing fee. If you find a figure that is wrong, tell us and the correction is made in the open.
Who's behind HokAI
HokAI is built and edited by Damien, its founder. Ten years inside iGaming affiliation, where winning meant knowing a vertical better than anyone and shipping the product the audience actually deserved; several directories built and run from the ground up across that decade; and the last year inside AI regulation work, watching the same patterns repeat at a much faster clock. HokAI is the result: opinionated where most are neutral, rigorous where most are quick, and built for people who actually have to make a call.
