A free tool that evaluates startup ideas and websites using AI judges, producing transparent scores on a public leaderboard ranked by merit, not budget.
The story

GERMANY — StartupBench is a free evaluation platform that scores startup ideas and their public websites using six independent AI judges. The scoring uses a published methodology where the idea accounts for two-thirds of the score and the website one-third, with each judge rating five criteria independently and the median taken for each criterion. Scores are public and displayed on a global leaderboard ranked by score rather than budget or funding.
The platform requires no account creation to receive a free score with all ten ratings and a shareable score page. For a one-time $10 payment, users can purchase a domain pass that includes detailed analysis feedback, global board listing placement, and future updates. Payment never affects scoring or ranking—the score is determined before any checkout occurs. The scoring evaluates public evidence of the startup idea and the quality of its public website, excluding revenue, funding, team quality and other private company metrics.

Questions and answers
What exactly is being rated?
The startup idea visible from public evidence and the quality of its public website. Revenue, funding, team quality, and private company metrics are not scored.
Can payment improve a score or rank?
No. The score is finished before checkout exists. The global board is ordered by score; payment only makes an eligible score visible there.
Can I score the same website again?
Yes, once every 24 hours per website until the cached result expires. A one-time $10 domain pass includes deeper analysis and global board placement with updates included.
Do I need an account?
No. Stripe handles optional one-time payments. After paying, save your access key from the score page to restore your analysis and listing controls on another device.
Can a score be corrected or removed?
Yes. Send the score URL and your request to support@startupbench.app. Public evidence and scoring mistakes can be reviewed, and lawful removal requests are honored.
