Disclosure, before anything else
We publish AIToolsRecap. We are one of the two things being compared here, and you should weight everything below accordingly.
So here is the part that matters most: There's An AI For That is far bigger than us on every measure of size there is, and you can verify that in thirty seconds with any SEO tool. We have not written this to claim otherwise.
The numbers, including the ones we lose
These are from Semrush on 13 October 2026. Check them yourself rather than taking our word for it.

There's An AI For That |
AIToolsRecap |
| Organic traffic | 186,000 | 858 |
| Organic keywords | 86,500 | 1,900 |
| Authority Score | 57 | 23 |
| Referring domains | 14,300 | 2,100 |
| Tools indexed | ~52,000 (third-party figure) | 1,043+ |
| Head-to-head comparisons | Not a feature | 243+ |
| Daily news | Newsletter | Daily briefing |
They beat us roughly 45 to 1 on organic traffic and 50 to 1 on tools indexed. If the question you are asking is "which of these is the bigger site," the answer is not close and you can stop reading here.
On their own claimed numbers. TAAFT's pricing page states 90M+ humans, 5M+ monthly active users, 3M monthly unique visitors, 9M monthly page views and 2.5M+ newsletter subscribers. Those are company marketing figures, not audited ones, and they sit well above what third-party tools measure — Semrush sees 186K organic. The gap is plausible for a product with a large newsletter and heavy direct traffic, which search tools cannot see. We are flagging it because we flag it for everyone, not because we think they are inflating it.
They are not actually the same product
The size comparison is the wrong frame, which is the only reason this article exists.
There's An AI For That is a discovery engine. Around fifty thousand tools, searchable by task, with upvotes and a very large newsletter. You go there with "I need something that does X" and you leave with a list of candidates. At that job it is the best thing on the internet and nothing else is close.
AIToolsRecap is an evaluation publication. 1,043 tools, but 243 head-to-head comparisons, tested reviews with pricing, and a daily news briefing. You come here with "Runway or Veo 3" or "is SuperGrok worth $30 a month" and you leave with a decision.
Those are sequential, not competing. Discovery comes first. Evaluation comes second. A reader who has never heard of Kling should start at TAAFT; a reader choosing between Kling and Sora has already finished with it.
How each one makes money, because it shapes what you see
TAAFT publishes its pricing openly, which is more than most directories do. From their own page:
- Free tools: listed free. Paid tools: $20.
- Listing + Just Released: $49.
- Submit a new AI tool: $437 one-off, which includes a newsletter mention they value at $3,000.
- Highlight: $99/month, advertised as up to 4x more clicks.
- Featured placement: pay-per-click bidding, minimum 1,000 clicks. Their worked example is $2 per click for 2,000 clicks — $4,000.
What that means when you browse. Position on TAAFT is partly a function of spend. A tool paying $99/month or bidding $2 a click appears more prominently than one that paid nothing. That is a marketplace, it is published on a public page, and it is not a trick — but it is a thing to know while you are scrolling a list.
And we are not neutral either. We sell sponsored placements. The difference is narrow and we will state it narrowly: we do not sell review scores or positions in a comparison, and anything paid is labelled. That is a different line, not a higher moral position.
Where we would send you to them
- You do not know what category you need. Fifty thousand tools indexed by task beats a thousand, every time.
- You want to find something new. Their Just Released feed and newsletter surface launches faster than any editorial team can review them.
- You are launching a tool and want distribution. Their audience is the largest in the category. Our listing reaches fewer people.
- You want community signal. Upvotes across a large user base tell you something that one reviewer's opinion does not.
Where we think we are the better answer
- You have narrowed it to two or three and need to choose. This is the whole reason the site exists. 243 head-to-head comparisons with current pricing.
- The decision has money attached. A $30/month subscription or a $4 per million token API bill deserves more than a listing entry and an upvote count.
- You need to know what changed this week. Model pricing moves constantly. A directory entry written in March does not tell you a model got 75% cheaper in October.
- You want the limitations named. Every review here states what the tool is bad at. Directory listings rarely do, because the listing is usually supplied by the vendor.
The honest summary
If we had to pick one site for a reader who could only use one, we would say theirs. Breadth beats depth when you do not yet know what you are looking for, and most people do not.
What we would actually recommend is using both in order: TAAFT to find the candidates, a comparison to pick between them. That is how we use it ourselves, and we would say so whether or not we published one of the two.
FAQ
Is There's An AI For That free?
Yes, for browsing and searching. Costs apply to tool owners who want to be listed in certain ways: $20 for a paid tool listing, $49 for Just Released, $437 to submit with a newsletter mention, $99/month to Highlight, or pay-per-click bidding for featured placement.
How many tools does There's An AI For That have?
Third-party reports put it around 52,000. TAAFT's own pages do not publish a total, so treat the figure as unverified.
Are TAAFT listings paid placements?
Some are. Free listings exist, and paid options — Highlight at $99/month and pay-per-click featuring — buy greater prominence. The pricing is public on their site.
Which is bigger?
There's An AI For That, by a wide margin. Semrush puts them at 186,000 organic visits against our 858, with an Authority Score of 57 against our 23.
Why would I use AIToolsRecap instead?
You would not use it instead. You would use it after — when you have two or three candidates and need to know which to pay for, what the free tier actually limits, and what each one is bad at.
Can I trust a comparison written by one of the two sites being compared?
Not on its own, and you should not. Every size figure above is from Semrush and every pricing figure is from TAAFT's own public pages, so you can check all of it independently. Where the article makes a judgement rather than a measurement, that judgement is ours and is worth exactly what you think it is.
