App : A product you use directly · Tool : A precise action the AI can call · MCP : Standardises the connection between an AI application and systems that expose tools or data · Built-in mode : A feature to switch on inside an assistant you already use (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini): nothing to install · Skill : A reusable method: instructions, procedures, sometimes scripts or templates · Plugin : A set of capabilities installed into an AI application or a host

Method

Overall score = utility (rated by the editorial team), reliability (GitHub activity, official publisher, reachable site), security (where data goes, permissions, known incidents) and accessibility (install, required level, price), weighted per category. A tool inactive for over six months is flagged and leaves the recommendations. No ranking is sold.
