OpenAI Tools Hub

OpenAI Tools Hub started as a personal spreadsheet for tracking which AI tools were actually worth paying for, and grew into a small directory that other people found useful too.

Most "AI tool directory" sites today are thin SEO pages scraped from Product Hunt with a one-line description and an affiliate link. We wanted something closer to what you'd get from a friend who already tried the tool: what it actually costs once the free tier runs out, what it's good at, and where it falls short compared to the two or three closest alternatives.

Every listing gets a short human-edited writeup instead of an auto-generated blurb. When a tool changes its pricing or shuts down a free tier, we go back and update the entry rather than leaving stale information up, because that's usually the exact moment someone is searching for it. The comparison pages group tools by the job they solve (writing assistants, coding copilots, image generation, voice cloning) so you can see three or four real options side by side instead of scrolling through a ranked top-50 list that's really just an ad placement.

The site is intentionally small. We're not trying to index every AI tool that gets launched this month. New entries get added when a tool has enough real usage or community discussion to be worth writing about, and we'd rather have 200 well-documented tools than 2,000 thin ones.

If you run an AI tool and think it's missing, or you spot an outdated price on an existing listing, there's a contact link on every page. We update the site roughly weekly.

Built and maintained by a single person, not a content farm, which is also why the writing style is a little more direct and opinionated than most listicle sites in this space.
