How we rank
Tested by filmmakers,
for filmmakers.
Curious Refuge Labs™ is the industry’s resource for creative AI tool testing. Every ranking is earned in hands-on tests, never bought.
01
Independent & unsponsored
No tool pays for placement. Rankings reflect our team’s results and nothing else.
02
Real production tests
Each tool runs the same creative briefs so results can be compared side by side.
03
Constantly updated
AI moves fast. We re-test as new models ship and update the rankings to match.
