Small-business question
Am I paying for too many AI tools?
By Rick Hesse ·
Short answer
The short answer
Possibly, if several subscriptions do the same jobs or rarely produce a useful result. List the work each tool actually performs before deciding what to keep.
Where this fits in a real small business
Low monthly prices make it easy to collect tools by excitement. Across a business, overlapping subscriptions and repeated setup can add up without improving the work.
One useful next step
List your tools, their monthly cost, their specific jobs, and how often you use them. Test one overlap before canceling anything essential.
