New Site Radar vs Peerlist
Disclosure: we build New Site Radar. Everything below about Peerlist comes from its public pages as we read them on October 4, 2026 (sources at the bottom). Products change; if something here is out of date, email hello@newsiteradar.com and we will fix it.
Peerlist is a professional network for developers, designers and founders, with work profiles and a feed for sharing projects and questions. New Site Radar ranks AI tool websites registered in 2025 or later that are gaining traffic, monthly.

When Peerlist is the better fit
- You want a free portfolio website on your own domain.
- You want weekly Launchpad launches to find first users and get feedback from fellow developers and designers.
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.
