Short answer

Pick the AI by the job, not by the brand. Start with one repeated task, test a free plan on real work, and pay only when the limit stops you.

Match the job to the tool type

  • Writing, emails and ideas: a general assistant (ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini).
  • Meetings and notes: a note-taker such as Otter.
  • Slides and documents: a tool such as Gamma.
  • Voice and audio: a tool such as ElevenLabs. Check its terms for commercial use on the free plan.
  • Connecting apps: an automation tool such as Zapier.

Before you buy for a team

  • Check per-seat prices and the minimum seats on the vendor’s page.
  • Check whether your data is used for training by default.
  • Start with one or two people before rolling out.
