About shouldipay.ai
shouldipay.ai answers one question per page: is this paid AI tool worth paying for? Most AI tools have a free plan and one or more paid plans. Each verdict compares them, says who should pay and who shouldn't, and lists cheaper or free alternatives.
Why this site exists
A pricing page tells you what a plan costs, not whether it is worth it for you. The real limits are often in help-center articles, plans change without notice, and many reviews are written once and never updated. We check the vendors' own pages every day and keep each verdict tied to the prices it was written for.
What a verdict is based on
Every verdict is based on the vendor's pricing, limits and documentation pages. Where we have them, it also summarizes public user reports (with links) and our own tests: a fixed, public set of tasks we run on the free and the paid tier. The badge on each verdict says which evidence it has, and we never claim a test we did not run.
