AI tools, checked by an accountant.
I test the AI tools small businesses are being sold, work out what they really cost, and build the ones worth having.
How I judge a tool
What it really costs
The monthly price after the trial ends, plus the add-ons you'll actually need.
What it replaces
If it doesn't cancel at least one other subscription, it's another bill.
How hard it is to leave
Lock-in matters more than features once your data lives inside a tool.

“I've spent 15 years reading the accounts of small businesses. I know which subscriptions quietly eat margin.”
