Market Eyes LiveAI Software Stocks, Rated
The software side of artificial intelligence covers platform giants, data infrastructure, observability, security and the application layer. Unlike the chip makers, these companies are judged on recurring revenue quality: growth rate, retention and the path to durable margins.
Every score below is free. 20 ai software stocks scored on the same eight factors, updated as the data changes.
Ranked by composite score
Ranked highest to lowest by MELANY composite score, a 0 to 100 reading from eight factors. Each row links to the full breakdown and the live price. Ratings are a dated snapshot, most recently computed 2026-08-20.
These tiers are algorithmic research readings, not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and not personalized investment advice. Ranking order is not a suggested purchase order.
What is in the app for these 20 companies
The score and the eight factors behind it are open on every company page. The trade plan is the part that is not: one suggested entry price per company, the stop, the targets, and an alert when a name enters its entry zone. That unlocks free when you create an account.

Measured against each company's rating about 30 days ago. A tier change is reported as a move between named tiers; the score is what carries the direction. Runner is a short-term momentum flag, not a rung above or below any other tier.
What moves this group
Net revenue retention and the balance between growth and free cash flow are what separate this group. Because most trade on forward multiples, the discount rate matters: the macro-fit factor captures how the current rate regime suits long-duration growth. Consumption-based pricing models react faster to customer cost cutting than seat-based models do.

How Market Eyes Live scores these companies
Every company on this page is scored by MELANY, our own engine, which reads regulatory filings and market data and produces a composite score from 0 to 100 across eight factors: valuation, business quality, price momentum, earnings track record, analyst sentiment, catalyst setup, risk-adjusted profile and macro fit.
Each score maps to a conviction tier rather than a buy or sell call. Established companies with enough financial history are judged on fundamentals. Pre-profit or thin-data companies are judged on a separate speculative path that leans on momentum and theme strength, because there are not enough fundamentals to read. That is why two names with similar scores can carry very different risk.
