About Us
Independent, Transparent, In-Depth AI Tool Reviews
We are an independent editorial team based in Hong Kong, dedicated to helping entrepreneurs and tech professionals across the Asia-Pacific region find AI tools that truly work.
Our Mission
New AI tools emerge every day, but most reviews are filled with sponsored promotions, shallow trials, and exaggerated claims. StackHK wants to change that.
We believe: good tools deserve to be discovered, and bad tools should be honestly called out. Every review is an independent assessment based on self-funded purchases and real-world deep usage. We do not accept sponsorships, advertising, or review resources from tool vendors.
Our perspective is rooted in Hong Kong, serving the entire Asia-Pacific region. We pay special attention to the localization performance of AI tools in Chinese-language scenarios and APAC markets — a dimension often overlooked by Western review outlets.
Review Methodology
Every review follows a rigorous process to ensure conclusions are evidence-based.
Minimum 7-Day Deep Testing
Every tool is used in daily workflows for at least 7 days. Not a 30-minute quick trial, but full project-level testing.
Four-Dimension Quantitative Scoring
Weighted composite scores across four dimensions: Ease of Use (25%), Value for Money (30%), Feature Depth (30%), and Support & Updates (15%).
Asia-Pacific Perspective
Focused testing on Chinese-language support, APAC access speed, local pricing, and localized features. This is our core differentiator from Western review outlets.
Continuous Update Tracking
After a review is published, we continuously monitor significant tool updates. When features change substantially, we update the review and mark the revision date.
Zero Sponsorship Policy
We do not accept any sponsorship, advertising fees, free accounts, or review resources from tool vendors. The testing costs for every tool are borne entirely by the team.
Transparent Affiliate Policy
Some tool links contain affiliate codes — clicking or purchasing may generate revenue for us. But this does not affect scores or conclusions — affiliate CTAs always come after the verdict.
Scoring System
Every review assigns scores across four weighted dimensions, producing a composite rating out of 10.
| Dimension | Weight | What We Evaluate |
|---|---|---|
| Ease of Use | 25% | Onboarding experience, learning curve, interface intuitiveness |
| Value for Money | 30% | Pricing structure, free tier quality, cost vs. value delivered |
| Feature Depth | 30% | Core capability strength, unique features, AI model quality |
| Support & Updates | 15% | Update frequency, community activity, documentation quality |

Editorial Standards
Our editorial independence is non-negotiable. We have no external investors and no commercial relationships with tool vendors. This allows us to maintain 100% editorial independence.
When we find a tool lacking, we say so — clearly and with evidence. When a tool excels, we explain why in detail. Our readers trust us because we never compromise on honesty.
