How we select tools
MintedBrain is task-first: we map tools to real tasks (e.g. “write blog posts,” “transcribe meetings”) rather than listing everything. Tools are chosen for relevance, usability, and value at each task. We prioritize tools with clear free tiers or freemium plans when available.
We do not accept payment for inclusion in our core shortlists. Featured or sponsored placements, if any, are clearly labeled.
Link verification
Outbound tool links are checked regularly. We record status (OK, redirect, dead), latency, and last-checked timestamp. Verification runs on a schedule (typically daily). Stale or failed links are flagged so we can update or remove them.
Trust signals on tool and task pages reflect this: “Checked X ago” and link health status indicate whether a link is still valid.
Affiliate disclosure
MintedBrain may receive compensation when you click certain outbound links or sign up for tools. This does not affect our editorial choices or rankings. We do not recommend tools solely for affiliate revenue.
Where we use affiliate links, we aim to disclose this clearly. Our goal is to help you find the right tool for your task, not to maximize clicks for paid placements.
Submit a tool
Startups and developers can submit tools for consideration via our submit-tool form. We review submissions against our editorial guidelines and add them when they fit our task coverage.
