Reviews and guides for AI tools that do actual work: coding assistants, local inference apps, image generators and the calculators we build to size them.
Every ChatGPT plan offers unlimited everyday chats. What changes with Go ($8 in the US), Plus ($20) and Pro (from $100) is the model, the limits and the tools. A plain-language comparison with a simple way to decide.
Free image generation lives in consumer apps and open weights, not in APIs — Google’s image models have no free tier at all. What each route costs, what the licence lets you do, and when paying $3 beats fighting a quota.
Which free tiers refill every month and which are a one-time deposit, what the watermark and resolution limits really are, and the API route that undercuts every subscription at low volume.
Ten platforms compared on what they cost and what they are actually for — every price read on the vendor’s own page. Includes which three have a genuinely usable free tier and why credits make plans hard to compare.
AI can produce the handheld, customer-filmed look without filming. The script decides performance, the disclosure decides whether you have a problem — and the tools will not warn you about the second one.
Upload 10-20 photos, get studio-style portraits back. What to upload and what ruins the result, the flaws to check for, and what to read in the data policy before you hand over your face.
Paste a script, pick a voice, download the audio. What free plans include, why the free tier usually carries no commercial licence, and how to write a script that does not sound synthetic.
Script, voice, visuals, captions — the four pieces of a faceless reel and how AI produces each one. Including the commercial licence trap that catches people the moment a video is monetised.
Make your first AI image today, free, in a browser. How to write a prompt that works, what free tiers really give you, and the licence line that decides whether you can use the result at work.
Every frontier video model — Sora 2, Veo 3.1, Kling and Wan — accepts an image as the first frame, and charges the same per second as text-to-video. Here is what each costs and where the free tiers stop.
OpenAI has reportedly fully open-sourced its Codex Harness, according to 36 Kr, opening the AI coding orchestration framework to independent deployment and inspection. The move has significant implications for how engineering teams manage API costs and build AI coding workflows.
Sora 2 is the cheapest frontier option at $0.10 per second of 720p video — $0.05 on the batch tier. Sora 2 Pro runs $0.30 (720p) to $0.70 (1080p).
