Verdicts on AI business tools, earned the hard way

We read every pricing page, plan comparison and term sheet, check each cost claim against what's live today, and score the result against a public rubric. You get the answer G2 crowds and vendor demos won't give you: is it worth your money?

What does that AI tool really cost?

The advertised price and the price you actually pay are rarely the same: 13 of the 13 audited tools that publish both rates charge more month-to-month than billed annually — the widest premium is +275% for the identical plan. Pick a tool, billing cycle and seats, and see the real monthly number, verified against the vendor's live pricing page.

01 · Primary sources

Every review reads the vendor's pricing page, docs, changelog and terms end to end, then checks every cost claim against what's live today — never a press kit.

02 · One rubric

Core job, time to value, pricing honesty, friction, support. Same five lenses for every tool.

03 · Dated verdicts

AI pricing changes monthly. Each page shows when we last verified it — and we re-check on a schedule.
