OpenAI
The chat app, not the API.
Consumer chat product. Use it to draft scripts and plans. Ship the API row when you need it inside an app.
Provisional seed scores. Method seed-v0-provisional, confidence low, not hands-on tested. The band around a number is a ±8 display label, not a measured interval. Ordering uses the point estimate.
The dollar amount is not a score. Rankings do not read it.
API flag: not marked. MCP flag: not marked. These flags are notes, not an audit.
No public affiliate program was recorded for this tool in the Oct 14, 2026 research, or it was not checked. Absence of a program does not change any score.
We may earn a commission if a tracking link is connected and you buy through it. It never changes ranks. In this v1 seed, tracking URLs are empty, so “Open site” goes to the vendor. Sponsorship rules.
