Side hustles
We judge every side hustle on three things: time to first sale, start up cost and hours per week. A model that only works with a large audience or a big budget is ranked lower for beginners, however good it looks on social media.
Tools
We use tools on real projects, with the same prompts and inputs across competitors, and we note what a usable result actually costs rather than the headline price. Prices change often, so we say 'around' and date our updates.
Updates
AI tools change monthly. Every guide shows an 'updated' date, and we revisit our rankings when a tool or platform changes in a way that matters.
