How We Test
💸 Real Money
Every subscription is paid with our own card. No “review units,” no sponsored placements, no affiliate-driven rankings.
🔬 Real Workloads
We test with actual production prompts — client projects, blog posts, marketing materials — not the canned examples from vendor demos.
📊 Real Metrics
Cost per usable output, time spent, failure rate. We publish the methodology so you can reproduce our results.
