Best-of lists, with sources.
Last updated · By Chris Tabb, founder · Sources checked November 13, 2026
Lists for people choosing ChatGPT tools and help. Every entry links to its source, nobody pays to be listed, and where Appearly appears it is marked as our own service.
§ 01
The lists
- Best ChatGPT consultants and agencies for business (2026). OpenAI’s partner locator, Frontier Alliance firms, mid-market partners, and options for small teams.
- Best custom GPT migration options before Dec 11, 2026. Migrate to plugin, a Project, MCP for custom actions, workspace agents, other tools, or retire it.
- Best custom GPT alternatives in 2026. ChatGPT plugins and Projects, Claude Projects, Gemini skills, Microsoft 365 Agent Builder and Copilot Studio.
- Best tools to track your brand in ChatGPT (2026). Free checks and paid AI visibility trackers, each described from its own site.
- Best ChatGPT Business plugins and connected apps (2026). The apps in OpenAI’s directory worth turning on first, grouped by job.

How we build these lists
- Entries must be real products or firms with a public page we can link to.
- Facts come from the vendor’s own page, OpenAI’s documentation, or a dated announcement, checked on the date shown.
- Appearly is included only where it fits the list’s stated criterion, and it is never placed first by default.
- Spot an error or a missing entry? Write to hello@appearly.app.
