# EffectHub

> Catalog of AI tools with an independently tracked liveness status.
> 3,263 published tools, each with a last-checked date.

EffectHub catalogs AI tools and records, for every published entry, whether the
product is still alive. Each tool page carries a status (active, suspected dead,
dead, acquired), the date of the last check, the pricing model and entry price
where a public price exists, the platforms it runs on, and whether it exposes a
public API. Entries stay in the catalog after they die instead of being deleted,
so a discontinued tool remains answerable rather than silently disappearing.

The catalog also records aggregate engagement — outbound clicks and saves per
tool. Rankings and placement are editorial; affiliate status does not buy
position.
Ratings are shown only when real user ratings exist, never as a synthetic score.

## How entries are made

- Cards are written and maintained by EffectHub Research, our own editorial
  process. Descriptions are written from the vendor's own material; we take
  facts from other catalogs, never their copy.
- Paid placement never moves an organic position. Paid slots exist and are
  labelled as such wherever they appear.
- A listing is published only after it clears a completeness gate; entries
  below the bar stay unpublished rather than being padded out.
- Liveness is re-checked on a schedule, and every card carries the date of
  its last check. Dead and acquired products stay in the catalog, labelled.
