an independent test ledger for AI tools
Marketing pages all claim the same thing. Measurements don’t.
Vouch scores AI tools on five dimensions using public arena data, review-crowd aggregates and consumer-trust records — never one editor’s opinion, never a vendor’s claim.

How a score is made
- 1
Measure
Public arena preference data, review-crowd aggregates and consumer-trust records — collected on a dated run.
- 2
Gate
Documented billing or trust problems cap the composite. A pretty tool with an ugly refund record cannot rank first.
- 3
Label
Every score ships with a confidence grade; thin evidence is flagged and unmeasured dimensions say so.
AI Image Generators
Full category ledger →Six image tools, one measuring stick: public arena preference data for output quality, review-crowd aggregates for usability, verified pricing, and consumer-trust records that catch billing problems marketing pages hide.

Why another directory?
Measured, not vibed
Output quality comes from public preference arenas with thousands of blind votes — not from how a tool felt to one reviewer on one afternoon.
Trust is a dimension
Billing complaints, refund fights and support silence show up in the Trust Score as hard gates. A beautiful generator with a documented billing problem cannot rank first here.
Honest about uncertainty
Thin evidence is labelled, unmeasured dimensions say “not measured”, and no tool ever scores a perfect 100. Confidence ships with every number.
