A whole new flavor of question has shown up for the folks who build developer tools: which models recommend you and why…? Adam DuVander’s EveryDeveloper has a public answer to that question: LLM Rank, a free, independent ranking of which dev-tool companies the major AI language models actually point developers toward.
LLM Rank is a public, independent rankings site that measures which developer tool companies are most recommended by AI language models. When a developer asks an AI assistant “what’s the best transactional email service” or “which authentication provider should I use,” the AI’s response increasingly shapes which products get evaluated, adopted, and trusted.
We measure those patterns systematically. Each category is tested across multiple AI models with the kinds of questions developers actually ask. Companies are ranked by how often they appear (visibility) and how prominently they’re positioned (average rank). The result is a transparent, data-forward picture of AI-driven product discovery.
The methodology is what makes it interesting. LLM Rank tests dev-tool categories across multiple AI models with realistic developer questions, then ranks companies by visibility and positioning. Best of all…? It’s objective. Not pay to play.
If you build developer tools — or if you’re just curious how AI assistants are reshaping product discovery in your category — go poke around. The rankings update over time, the categories are still expanding, and the methodology page is worth a read on its own.
