Obviously, AlphaGo is the top AI now. Besides it, a simple way to find information about Computer Go Ranking would be to search for :

> Computer go tournament

Here is a list of [Go AI from wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Go#List_of_Go-playing_computer_programs)

There's a special website called [Computer GO](http://www.computer-go.info/) that registers past and future tournaments.

There's also a website for [KGS Computer Tournaments](http://www.weddslist.com/kgs/)

According to the [KGS tournament](http://www.weddslist.com/kgs/annual/index.html), the actual ranking is :

1. Zen
2. DolBaram
3. abakus
4. Darkforest
5. Hira
6. Aya

As for commercial AIs, I don't think their level match the ones quoted here. It would require much hardware resources to run on a smartphone or a personnal computer.
