Original Benchmarks 2025: AI Tools Performance (Case Study Library)

Methodology & dataset
Benchmarks use a standardized prompt suite per category with three difficulty tiers and five runs per tool to capture variance, saving raw CSVs and artifacts for verification to maximize replicability and linkability.
Contextual links from reviews and tool lists consolidate authority around this library, for example from Jasper vs. Copy.ai 2025 and Surfer SEO Review 2025.
Evaluation criteria (Speed/Accuracy/Cost/Quality)
- Speed: median wall‑clock time per task; include time‑to‑first‑token and render time for media generators to reflect performance.
- Accuracy: rubric‑based scoring per task type with exemplars and tie‑break rules to reduce subjectivity.
- Cost: normalized effective cost per task by tier, plus estimates per 1K outputs for API plans when applicable.
- Output quality: double‑blind human ratings with calibration samples and reviewer notes for transparency.
All rubrics and sample graded outputs are provided so journalists can cite specific findings with context and limitations.
