What "Tested" Means at AIGetFree
Every tool reviewed on AIGetFree goes through a minimum 7-day hands-on testing period before a verdict is published. No AI-generated summaries. No rewritten press releases. We use the tool ourselves — across multiple devices, platforms, and real-world tasks.

Pricing Verification
All prices are verified against the vendor's public pricing page at the time of review. The verification date is listed in every review. Prices change — check the vendor's site for current pricing. We update pricing data when significant changes are detected.

Correction Policy
We correct errors promptly and transparently:
- Minor corrections (typos, formatting): applied silently
- Factual corrections (wrong version, wrong price): updated with a dated note
- Significant errors (wrong conclusion): article updated with prominent correction notice
To report an error: [email protected]. All corrections are logged and dated.
How Ratings Change
When a tool receives a major update, we re-test and update the review. The original test date and the update date are both listed. Ratings may change based on:
- New features or removed functionality
- Significant price changes
- Privacy or security incidents
- Competitor advances that shift the landscape
What We Don't Do
- We don't publish paid reviews or sponsored content without clear labeling
- We don't accept payment for ratings or rankings
- We don't use AI to generate reviews — every article is human-written and tested
- We don't publish "best" lists without having tested the alternatives
Our Commitment
We test because we use these tools ourselves. Every recommendation is based on direct experience — not vendor claims, not press kits, not AI summaries. If something doesn't work, we say so. If a free tool outperforms a paid one, we tell you. That's the only way this site is useful.
