The ToolMango ROI Score
Every tool gets a 0–100 score combining cost, time saved, revenue potential, and six other signals — so you can compare on impact, not marketing.
Higher score = clearer recommendation. Anything above 75 is editorially worth your money for the right audience.

Frequently asked questions
What is ToolMango?
ToolMango is a free, editorially independent directory that ranks 105+ AI tools by ROI Score — a transparent 0–100 metric based on cost, time saved, ease of use, and output quality. We also offer a free AI Stack Builder that recommends tool combinations for your specific project.
How does the ROI Score work?
Every tool receives a score from 0–100 based on eight weighted signals: monthly cost (10%), time saved per week (15%), revenue potential (15%), ease of use (10%), usefulness (15%), popularity (10%), affiliate payout (10%), and category demand (15%). Scores are calculated before checking for affiliate partnerships — the ranking is never influenced by commissions.
Is ToolMango free?
Yes. Browsing, comparing, and building AI stacks is completely free. ToolMango Pro ($9/mo) adds AI Chat — a unified interface to 12+ AI models with smart routing — plus advanced stack management and PDF export. The core tool rankings and Stack Builder remain free forever.
How does ToolMango make money?
We earn affiliate commissions when readers click through to a tool and decide to pay for it. This is our only revenue. We never accept payment to change rankings, omit competitors, or write favorable reviews. Tools without affiliate programs appear alongside tools with them when they earn it on merit.
