How we review AI tools

We start with a purchase question, verify current vendor information, test the free path when available, calculate a conservative break-even point, and state who should not buy. Features change quickly, so every comparison displays an update date and links to primary sources.

Our standard

• Primary sources before second-hand claims.
• Free vs paid limits explained in plain language.
• No invented productivity gains.
• Affiliate relationships disclosed on the page when they exist.
