About Criticaster

Criticaster aggregates professional reviews from multiple sources and then calculates average scores for each product we cover. Curious about the methodology? See how it works.

While buying products has never been easier, figuring out which product to buy has never been harder. There is far too much choice, every item somehow has 4.5 stars and knockoffs roam rampant.

Even ChatGPT comes up short: it'll confidently give you a random recommendation whilst never even considering 5 alternatives that would be a better fit for your usecase.

At Criticaster, we help you figure it out.

What's next

Criticaster v1 presents scores for tech products.

Next, we're adding AI-powered features:

  1. Ask the critics: ask questions about a specific product and get answers based on the combined understanding of all the professional reviewers
  2. Personalized scores: get personalized scores and product recommendations based on lightweight Q&A: "Based on your preferences, this product scores 8.4 instead of 7.6."
  3. Smart comparisons: compare products on relevant differences, based on what matters to you

We're building shopping intelligence based on expert opinion. We leverage AI to interpret high quality data to extract meaningful insights instead of lazily generating slop. Our goal is to become your go-to trusted source for any product you wish to buy. We're also upfront about the limitations of our approach—because trust starts with honesty.
