AI Vendor Evaluation Scorecard
Stop Buying AI Tools on Hype. Start Buying on Data.
Compare AI marketing vendors side-by-side. Get objective scores based on features, pricing, integrations, and user reviews. Make vendor decisions your CFO will actually approve.
The AI vendor evaluation scorecard compares multiple AI tools based on your team size and needs. Start with tools already in our database or add your own, and let AI research for you.
The problem this tool solves
You’re drowning in AI vendor pitches. Every sales deck promises “10x productivity” and “industry-leading AI.”
Your team wants to experiment. Your CFO wants ROI proof. Your CTO wants integration guarantees.
And you’re stuck in the middle with:
47 browser tabs comparing feature lists
Conflicting review site ratings (4.8 on G2, 3.2 on Capterra—what?)
Sales calls that tell you nothing about real-world performance
No objective framework to justify a $50K/year decision
Meanwhile, you have 90 days to show AI results. Picking the wrong vendor costs you time, budget, and credibility.
How the tool solves the problem
AI Vendor Score gives you apples-to-apples comparisons using the same evaluation framework we use at AI Ready CMO.
Every vendor is scored across 5 dimensions:
Goal Fit — Does this tool solve your specific business problem? Clear use case? Measurable objectives? Strategic alignment?
Team Fit — Can your team actually use it? Learning curve? Adoption speed? Skill requirements? User experience?
Timing — Setup time? Time to first value? Implementation complexity? Onboarding support?
Budget — Total cost of ownership? Hidden fees? Pricing transparency? ROI potential? Trial availability?
Tech Fit — Integrations with your stack? API access? Scalability? Reliability? Technical requirements?
Result: Objective numerical scores. Side-by-side comparisons. Vendor decisions backed by data, not sales pitches.
