AI Tools
Honest, hands-on reviews and comparisons of AI tools, so you can pick the right one for the job without wading through the hype.
There are thousands of AI tools and most reviews of them are rewritten marketing pages. My rule for this section is simple: I do not review anything I have not personally signed up for and used, and when I compare two tools I run the same real task through both and show you what came out.
That means slower coverage than the sites that churn out fifty listicles a week, but it also means when I tell you the free tier of a tool is enough for your use case, it is because I hit the limits myself and know exactly where they are. Some links here are affiliate links, which is disclosed on every page. It never changes the verdict: several of the tools I recommend hardest pay me nothing at all.
