Why we exist
Most "AI tool review" sites are SEO-driven affiliate farms: the reviews read like feature checklists, the rankings change weekly to chase commissions, and the recommendations consistently miss what actually matters to a working agency — time-to-value, client-facing polish, pricing math across multiple seats, and how a tool holds up once the trial enthusiasm fades.
We built Agency AI Stack to fix that gap with rigorous, sourced, and genuinely independent analysis. Every claim is tied to a source you can check, pricing is modelled at real agency scale, and we say plainly who a tool is — and isn't — for.
Who runs it
Agency AI Stack is founded and edited by Nidal Zomlot. He researches AI tools for marketing agencies — focusing on pricing at scale, real-world fit, and honest, independent verdicts — and edits every article before it's published. Connect with him on LinkedIn.
Every article carries a byline and is reviewed by a real person before publishing — not posted anonymously. If you have a correction or a tool to add to the queue, it reaches a human who reads it.
How we research
Our full methodology is documented on the How We Research & Review page. The short version: we work from official documentation, pricing pages, and public changelogs, plus hands-on evaluation of free tiers and trials where available and reputable third-party reporting. We use AI to help research and draft — then a named editor reviews, fact-checks, and edits every article before it goes live. We never fabricate first-hand testing or invent statistics, and we date time-sensitive claims like pricing so you can confirm them at the source.
How we make money
Two ways: display advertising (Google AdSense) and affiliate commissions on a subset of the tools we cover. Neither funding source influences our verdicts. Editorial conclusions are finalised before any affiliate relationship is set up, and affiliate programs cannot change them. The full safeguards are documented in our Editorial Policy and Affiliate Disclosure.
Editorial independence
We do not accept paid placements, sponsored verdicts, or link exchanges. Vendors do not pre-approve our reviews and do not see them before they go live. We offer a 48-hour right-of-reply window for factual corrections after publication — clearly noted as such — but the editorial verdict is ours alone.
