For AI Providers
Get listed once you clear the bar: two or more shipped production implementations, verified directly with your clients. No pay-to-play placement, no self-serve form yet. Just an honest profile that says what you're actually good at, and who you're not the right fit for.
Claim your companyFor Businesses
Skip the pitch decks. Every firm listed on TopEval is interviewed directly and has its client claims checked, so you're comparing real track records, not marketing copy. Join the waitlist and we'll tell you the moment the directory is searchable.
Join the WaitlistWhy an independent list matters
Every week brings a new tool, a new agency, a new promise. We built TopEval because there was no honest way to tell who's actually shipped AI in production from who's selling a pitch deck.
Editorially independent
No firm can pay to appear, and none can pay to remove an unflattering detail once it's published.
Founder-interviewed
Every profile starts with a direct conversation, not a self-serve form a marketing team fills in.
Honest about fit
We publish who a firm is a bad fit for, right alongside who it's a good fit for.
How a firm earns a listing
- 1
We interview them
The founder or a senior lead, on their history, pricing, and team, and, deliberately, who they're not a good fit for.
- 2
We interview their clients
We contact the clients a firm says it has worked with and confirm the engagement directly, from the client's side, not just the firm's.
- 3
We publish plainly
What's verified is labeled verified. What isn't is labeled honestly, never a fabricated rating.
