How to choose a productivity tool

• Start with the job, not the tool — write down the exact task and what a good result looks like.
• Check the free tier's real limits: model quality, daily usage and commercial rights.
• Before uploading work or client data, read the vendor's retention and training policy.
• Compare two tools on the same real task rather than on their marketing pages.
• Keep a human review step on anything that will be published or sent to a customer.
