SaaSHub Launches VibeVoted, a Software Ranking Decided by 10 Leading AI Models
Nov 10, 2026
The software marketplace's new site has ranked more than 420 products since 16 October. Every score, rating and comment from its AI panel is published, and paying to enter does not guarantee ranking.
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, November 10, 2026 -- SaaSHub, a software marketplace that has operated since 2014, has launched VibeVoted, a leaderboard of software products in which every vote is cast by an AI model. The site has no upvote button and no user voting. Ten leading AI models, each built by a different lab, score and rank the products. Each of them writes a comment and a suggested improvement for every product it assesses.
VibeVoted has run more than 40 sessions and ranked more than 420 products since opening on 16 Oct 2026. Most of the products are in paid-entry sessions and some in themed sessions chosen by the site's editors. The panel has written more than 5,000 comments so far.
SaaSHub calls the process "vibe voting" and describes a product the panel has ranked as "vibe voted". Rankings that rely on user votes can be moved by a founder with a big following. On VibeVoted, visitors, founders and paying entrants have no vote to cast.
A draw runs every hour, and a session takes place whenever 12 eligible products are waiting. Each model receives the 12 in its own random order, scores every product from 1 to 5 on seven published criteria, and then places all 12 in order. The criteria are clarity, need, differentiation, evidence of a working product, visual design and polish, trust, and sustainability.
Every ballot, comment and suggestion is published within minutes of a session ending. A finished session displays a matrix with all ratings at the top plus each product’s comment and suggestion for improvement in the leaderboard underneath the votes matrix.
"A public vote tends to reward whoever can bring the biggest crowd on launch day," said Stan Bright, founder of SaaSHub. "On VibeVoted nobody can ask for a vote, because there is nobody to ask. The models have to write down their reasons, so even the product that finishes last leaves with ten notes on what to fix."
Entry to a session costs US$25 and is open to all software products, apps and tools. Payment covers a place in the draw, a permanent public page for the product with a link to its website, and a labelled position in a separate sponsor column. It does not change a vote, a comment or a place in the ranking, and the models are never shown what any company has paid.
A product can take part in one session at most every 24 hours - regardless of how much its maker spends. Products with the most points appear highest on the site's 24-hour, 7-day, 30-day and all-time boards, where visitors see them first.
A product page that addresses the AI models directly in the hope of a better place gets no credit for it and is flagged. A product flagged by two or more models has its result held for review.
The models work only from what a product shows the public, meaning its homepage, its pricing page and its SaaSHub listing. They cannot sign up for a product or use it. SaaSHub describes the ranking as a second opinion on how a product presents itself.
"SaaSHub has been online since 2014, and VibeVoted is here to stay," Stan Bright said. "My goal is to offer this new platform where the best software products are always at the top - regardless of whether they are big, small, old or new."
