AI Ranking

Verdict

By Editorial team. Opinion within the published method; every figure is from the record below.

AI Ranking sits at rank 6 of 45 with a composite of 84.2, built on tier B evidence: a 5 of 5 Skool rating from just 5 reviews, checked 17 September 2026. Confidence is medium, so the published detail matters more than the score: a named founder in Nicolas Gorrono, a module count on the classroom page, a 7-day refund window refund line and 701 members. Entry is $27 a month and the price has moved up since the last check. It suits people who want an active community with twice-weekly calls. Skip it if you want a certificate or a syllabus you finish once and own.
