We don't test features - we test outcomes. Every tool goes through the same 4-step process based on actual job tasks.
We define 3+ work scenarios per category: e.g., "process 200 Amazon listings" or "handle 1,000 support tickets." Not feature demos.
Same task, same inputs, same budget across all tools. We measure time, cost per output, and quality with consistent criteria.
We calculate actual cost-per-unit: cost per image, per resolution, per line of code. Plus hidden fees, lock-in risks, and scaling costs.
AI tools ship updates weekly. We re-test every comparison monthly and flag pricing changes, feature removals, and new competitors.
