How we ranked these

We ranked tools built to negotiate or redline a negotiation first, then tools that rehearse one, then general AI assistants, using each maker’s own published features and prices. The old list also had Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity and Robin AI, which we replaced with Juro, Second Nature and Ironclad because we could source negotiation features for those on their own sites. Facts are taken from each maker's own published information; check the official site before you buy.
