1. What this site is
SrchEngine is an AI search intelligence site. It tracks how AI search engines and chat assistants answer questions, which models lead the public benchmarks, and how websites earn mentions and citations in AI answers. This site is operated by Thinking Minds Inc. By using this site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.
2. Information, not advice
Everything published on this site is editorial content provided for general information. It is not professional advice of any kind. Benchmark tables, rankings and tool results describe what public sources and automated checks report. They are not a recommendation to buy, sell or adopt any product or service.
3. Data, widgets and sources
Benchmark and ranking data comes from LMArena, Epoch AI, SWE-bench and Artificial Analysis. Search market share figures come from StatCounter, and model usage rankings come from OpenRouter. Data widgets on this site show the latest values we hold from those sources. Rates and figures are reference values. They can differ from the quote a dealer, a jeweller, a bank or a transfer service gives you at the moment you transact, and they can be corrected or restated by the source after we publish them.
4. Tools and calculators
The free tools on this site, including the AI crawler check, the citation checker, the trust signal audit and the brand checker, run automated checks against the address you submit. Results are automated estimates based on what the tools can observe at the time of the scan. They are a starting point for your own review, not a guarantee of how any search engine will treat your site.
5. Games: AI Duel
In the daily AI Duel, two AI engines answer the same question and visitors vote for the better answer. Each person gets one vote per duel, tracked with a cookie and an anonymous hash. The engines behind the answers stay hidden while voting is open and are revealed the next day at 9:00 AM ET. Games on this site are free, are played for points and standing only, and carry no prizes and no cash value.
6. Your submissions
When you send a message through the contact form or take part in a game or a tool on this site, you agree to be accurate, to send only content you have the right to send, and to send nothing unlawful, harmful or misleading. You keep ownership of what you send. You give us permission to read it, store it and reply to it for the purpose you sent it.
7. Acceptable use
Do not misuse this site. That includes trying to break or overload the site or its tools, scraping at a volume that harms other readers, impersonating another person, submitting false entries to games or forms, or using the site to break any law. We may remove entries and block access where we see misuse.
8. Intellectual property

Copying whole articles, republishing our pages as your own, or removing credit lines is not permitted without written permission.
9. Affiliate disclosure
Some articles on this site contain affiliate links. If you buy through one of those links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links are disclosed where they appear, and they never influence our rankings, benchmark tables or tool results.
10. Third-party data and links
This site links to third-party sites and republishes figures from third-party sources, credited by name. We are not responsible for the accuracy, availability or content of third-party sites or data, and a link is not an endorsement of the site it points to.
11. Availability and liability
This site and its tools are provided as is, without warranties of any kind. We work to keep the data current and the tools accurate, but we do not promise that the site will always be available, that figures will never contain an error, or that a tool result will match the outcome you get elsewhere. To the fullest extent allowed by law, Thinking Minds Inc. is not liable for any loss that comes from relying on content, rates or tool results on this site.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any dispute connected with this site will be handled under those laws.
