TryTested - AI tools scored by a 4-model panel, every score published

TryTested scores AI tools with an independent panel of agents - Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Grok - and publishes every score. It's the antidote to paid "best AI tools" listicles where placements are bought: here the rankings can't be bought. 408 tools scored so far, with new ones added continuously. Note: tools are agent/LLM-scored by the model panel, not hands-on human-tested.

NameSnag - Get alerted the moment a taken domain becomes available

Enter a taken domain and NameSnag keeps re-checking it, then emails you the moment it becomes available - so you stop manually refreshing whois. Free plan watches 1 domain; Pro watches 100. Monitoring and alerts only: NameSnag is not a broker, backorder service, or registrar - it doesn't buy or secure the domain for you, it just tells you the second it's free so you can grab it.

Statemently - Bank statement PDFs to spreadsheets - verified, not guessed

Statemently converts bank statement PDFs to spreadsheets - but unlike OCR converters, it reconciles every debit and credit against opening and closing balances and flags any uncertain row for review. Exports to Excel, CSV, QuickBooks (QBO), OFX, QIF, and Google Sheets. Every major US bank (Chase, BofA, Wells Fargo). Processed in memory, never written to disk, auto-deleted after conversion - no account required to try. Pricing: one-off credits or Pro at $49/mo (~100 statements/mo, all banks).
