Source: https://chat2.design/methodology/ Description: How tools are chosen, where each fact comes from, what Not verified means, and the limits of the directory. About the data # How the directory is built and checked > Short answer Each profile is built from the vendor's own pages: pricing, features, terms and status. Facts that could not be read from an official page are marked Not verified, never guessed. We have not tested the tools hands-on, and listings are alphabetical, not ranked. Data was last collected November 1, 2026. Updated November 14, 2026 ## How are tools chosen? We started from 235 candidates that turn a prompt, chat or reference image into a design, site, app, image, deck, diagram, 3D model or interior render. We kept the 200 with the most search interest, measured by monthly brand searches, organic search traffic and domain authority from Ahrefs. Search interest measures attention, not quality. Tools that have shut down, or whose site now points to another listed product, are left out. Tools found later, while researching a category page, can be added by hand even when their search interest is below the cut (UXMagic and Flowstep were added that way on 6 November 2026). On 13 November 2026 we narrowed the directory to its topic, turning a chat or prompt into a design: pure image generators, photo editors and ad-creative tools were removed. The directory has 156 tools today, led by UI generators, prompt-to-app builders, AI website builders and design-to-code tools. ## How are the verdicts written? Each profile has a short verdict: who the tool suits, who should look elsewhere, two pros, two cons and one line of summary. Verdicts are drawn only from the facts on that profile, such as the free plan, stated prices, exports and verified features. They are not based on hands-on testing, and a con can be a fact we could not verify. ## Where does each fact come from? Research read the vendor's own site, pricing page, documentation, terms and privacy policy, and vendor announcements. Third-party reviews and search snippets were used only to find the official page. Each profile lists the pages it was checked against and the date they were read. The directory was compiled with AI-assisted research that reads those pages, then merged and validated by a script; it has not been reviewed line by line by a person. ## What does "Not verified" mean? It means the fact could not be read from an official page when we looked. Many vendor sites block automated readers, load prices with scripts, or show prices only in other currencies. "Not verified" is not a no. We never fill a gap with a guess or with a figure from a review site. ## What do the verification levels mean? - **Official pages read** (14 tools): pricing, features and status were read from official pages. - **Partly verified** (112 tools): some groups of facts were read, others were not. - **Little verified** (30 tools): the vendor's pages could not be read, so most fields are marked Not verified. ## How are prices shown? Prices are US dollars a month for the cheapest paid self-serve plan, with monthly-billed and yearly-billed figures when both are shown. 95 of 156 tools have a verified price in US dollars. Plans shown only in euros or other currencies are left blank rather than converted. Vendors change prices often, so confirm on their page. ## Is the directory ranked? No. Lists are alphabetical. We do not sell placement, and no link on this site is paid. Filters narrow the list; they do not score tools. Verdicts say who a tool fits; they do not rank it against others. ## What does it not cover? We have not used the tools ourselves, so the directory says nothing about output quality, speed or reliability. It does not cover every tool, and new tools appear faster than any directory can follow. ## How do I report a mistake? Send the tool, the field and an official source through the [contact page](https://chat2.design/contact/). Confirmed fixes are made on the page.
