Every major AI platform is hovering around the same price now... about twenty bucks a month for a pro plan. Same sticker price. Very different strengths.

On this episode of Infacto Daily, Jackson and Dylan walk through how to tell if you are spending too much on AI compared to the value you are getting back. They compare ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI Pro (Gemini), and why Copilot often costs more than it looks once you factor in Microsoft 365 seats.

Then they lay out tool stacking: pick one primary platform, add one or two focused tools ($10 to $15 a month) that solve a real pain point, and skip the subscription pile. You will hear how Infacto uses Opus Clip for short-form video, why a contractor filming job-site work might only need a phone in the corner plus a clip tool, and category examples from content repurposing to QuickBooks AI.

Jackson shares budget rules for solo owners (stay under about $40 a month), five-person teams (Google Workspace plus Gemini), and larger teams (per-seat plans). They finish with red flags you are overpaying and homework: fifteen minutes on your bank statement asking, if this disappeared tomorrow, what would break?

Dylan also introduces the Infacto AI Tool Directory... 41 researched tools with free trials, filters by use case, and a quick start guide for each so you know what you are signing up for before you pay.
