Methodology
01
For each tool we searched 10 AI subreddits on Reddit's own search pages over the past 30 days, capping collection at 5 pages × 25 posts. Tools that hit the cap are marked 125+, and daily rates are estimated from the time span of the newest 125 posts.
- Post titles and bodies count; comments are excluded.
- Only threads naming the tool in the title qualify for the top-thread column.
- Figures are sampled, not Reddit's internal analytics.
02
Video, audio and productivity talk is scattered across dedicated subs such as r/aivideo, r/SunoAI and r/ElevenLabs. This report covers 10 general AI subs, so those categories are under-counted.

FAQ
Is this Reddit's official data?＋
No. The numbers come from Reddit's public search pages, aggregated with a consistent sampling method. They are reproducible sampled statistics, not Reddit's internal analytics.
Why do some tools show 125+?＋
Each tool is capped at 5 pages × 25 posts. Hitting the cap means the real volume is higher; 125+ is a lower bound, and the daily rate is estimated from the time span of those posts.
Who writes the verdicts?＋
The verdicts are editorial summaries based on each tool's top threads and mention mix over the last 30 days. They are not Reddit's official position.
