Astax/Discovery

Most directories tell you what exists. This one tells you what changed.

483 tools and websites, 227 of them checked against the vendor’s own pages rather than their marketing. Prices rise and free tiers quietly vanish, so every record keeps its history. And for anything an AI does, we list the way to do it without one.
