Scores 0–5 per our evaluation rubric. ✓ = claimed or available. — = not yet evaluated or not stated.

How we evaluate

We score tools on five dimensions (0–5) from public, verifiable information: implementation friction (ease of getting started), integration maturity (APIs, SSO, export), pricing transparency, security posture (heuristic from vendor statements), and SME fit (overall fit for time-poor, budget-conscious UK SMEs). We also record flags: GDPR/DPA claimed, UK/EU data hosting, SSO, and audit logs. Scores and flags are documented in our internal evaluation framework; we use them to keep comparisons consistent and to surface tools that meet compliance and hosting needs.

FAQs

Who is this guide for?
UK marketing agency owners, operations leads, and teams evaluating AI for content, SEO, creative, and project delivery. The tools we list are chosen for agency workflows, client reporting, and scalability for small agencies.
How do you evaluate tools?
We score tools on five dimensions (implementation friction, integration maturity, pricing transparency, security posture, SME fit) from public information, and we record flags such as GDPR/DPA and UK/EU data hosting. See the "How we evaluate" section on this page for the full rubric.
What about client data and confidentiality?
We flag UK/EU data hosting and DPA where vendors state it. When using AI on client work, confirm data handling with the vendor and protect client confidentiality; do not use consumer or open AI tools for client assets.
Where do I see pricing?
The comparison table on this page shows a pricing transparency score and GBP starting price where stated. Each tool's detail page has fuller pricing information when we have it.
What about professional and ethical use?
We do not certify tools for CIM or advertising standards. You remain responsible for responsible use, client agreements, and any sector codes. We surface tools that support agency delivery; suitability for your clients is your decision.
