Which AI tools
do you actually need?
Compare subscriptions, estimate API costs, and avoid paying for overlapping tools.
Find my AI stack
Answer a few workflow and budget questions, then get a short list of plans that cover your needs.
Compare subscriptions
Scan major AI tools by category, free tier, entry price, subscription type, and local tax.
Estimate API costs
Check whether pay-per-token pricing is cheaper than a flat monthly subscription for your workload.
Start from the decision,
not the directory.
Use the optimizer when you want a recommendation. Use compare when you already know the category. Use API pricing when your workload is programmatic.
Start with your workflow instead of browsing every tool one by one.
See realistic monthly cost, local tax, and free tiers side by side.
Check official provider pages before purchasing — plans change often.
