New Site Radar vs Futurepedia

Disclosure: we build New Site Radar. Everything below about Futurepedia comes from its public pages as we read them on October 2, 2026 (sources at the bottom). Products change; if something here is out of date, email hello@newsiteradar.com and we will fix it.

Futurepedia is an AI tools directory sorted into 10 categories, together with AI courses for professionals. New Site Radar instead ranks AI tool websites registered in 2025 or later by the traffic they are gaining, monthly.

When Futurepedia is the better fit

You want to browse AI tools by category, such as video, image or code tools.
You want structured AI courses alongside the directory.

When New Site Radar is the better fit

You want AI tool sites that launched recently and are starting to grow, before they are well known.
You want to know how far to trust each number: every figure is checked against a second source where one exists, and the evidence is on the site page (see the methodology).
You want to query the data from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex over MCP.

Try it: the growth rankings have a free monthly sample, and Pro shows the full board.
