Does the job
Pretty happy overall. Discovery of new and trending apps just works and useful for discovering lesser-known apps. but no dealbreakers — I'd recommend it to a friend without hesitating.
Solid for our team
We rolled this out across the team last quarter and centralized catalog of AI tools. Tool summaries and links fits neatly into how we already work, and productivity-oriented recommendations removed a step we used to do by hand. but it has held up under daily use.

Years in this space
I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is tool summaries and links — handled better than most — and productivity-focused curation. Directory model relies on frequent updates is my one real gripe. Worth the time if this is your use case.
Use it every day
Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Tool summaries and links is exactly what I needed, and useful for discovering lesser-known apps. I do wish quality of listings can vary, but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.
