ElevenLabs pricing: what the credits really cost
ElevenLabs starts free and most creators pay $22/month — but credits burn faster than the headline minutes. Here's what every plan actually costs.
ElevenLabs review: the best AI voice, billed by the credit
I ran my own scripts through ElevenLabs: the voices are a clear class above everything else, but the credit pricing punishes heavy use. Here's the verdict.
ElevenLabs vs Cartesia: creator quality vs agent speed
ElevenLabs owns voice quality and catalog; Cartesia owns sub-100ms speed. I tested both, including cloning my own voice in each. Here's which AI voice wins.
ElevenLabs vs Descript: voice engine vs editing suite
ElevenLabs makes the best AI voice; Descript is the editor that even runs ElevenLabs inside it. Here's which you actually need, and when to use both.
ElevenLabs vs Murf: the cheaper one is your script
Murf bills by audio duration, ElevenLabs by characters, so the cheaper voice tool depends on your script's pace, not the price page. I ran the numbers.
Pictory AI review: fast blog-to-video, real trade-offs
I ran a script and a blog post through Pictory's free trial: watchable videos in minutes, a 4.1/5 verdict, but the clean export is paywalled. Here's the review.
Pictory vs Fliki: I tested both — here's which to pick
Pictory vs Fliki, both tested: Fliki (4.3) wins on voice, languages, and a real free tier; Pictory (4.1) wins at turning blog posts into video. Which fits you?
Opus Clip alternatives: what each one takes away
Every cheaper OpusClip alternative costs you something. I ran four tools on one 35-minute file — Vizard did it for $0.85 against $2.03 — and priced two more.
OpusClip pricing: the annual discount is 40%, not 60%
OpusClip pricing read live from a signed-in account: Pro is $208.80 a year, not the $174 everyone quotes, and the annual discount is 40%, not 60%.
OpusClip review: 32 clips from one video, 5 worth posting
OpusClip review from a measured run: one 35-minute video in, 32 clips out, and a virality score that never went below 80 on a scale of 100.
Best AI writing tools: one to draft, one to check
The best AI writing tools, tested on one email brief and 23 planted errors. Claude drafted best, Grammarly checked best, and Gemini changed a promise.
Copy.ai review: I signed up, and every tool was locked
A Copy.ai review from a new account: no free plan, Chat at $29 a month, workflows behind a $249 plan and a 1.8 Trustpilot score. Who should still pay?
