I run a small AI-powered agency. Just me, my wife, and a stack of AI tools doing the heavy lifting for real client work. Here's what's worth the subscription, what I dropped after a week, and what I'd start with if I were broke and starting over. No fake testimonials. No "47 tools tested." Just what works.
No "best of 47" lists. These are on my credit card right now, used on real client projects this month.
Best for long-form content
Long-form is where Jasper earns its keep. I used it on a real estate client's blog last month — first-draft time went from 3 hours to about 45 minutes, and the brand voice feature actually held up across 12 posts. It's not magic, you still edit, but the ratio of "useful output" to "AI slop" is the best I've seen.
Best free plan for starters
Free plan is genuinely usable — 2,000 words a day is plenty if you're just doing social captions and short ad copy. I keep it on a free account and reach for it when I need 20 captions in 10 minutes. For long blog posts, no — Jasper does that better. But for the price of zero dollars, it pulls weight.
Best AI-powered newsletter
If you don't have an email list yet, start here. Free up to 2,500 subscribers — that's enough room to figure out if you even like newsletters before paying anyone. Built-in AI writing, real analytics, a referral program that actually works. I tell every creator the same thing: your email list is the only audience you actually own. Don't keep renting from Instagram.
Edit video like a document
Edit a video by deleting words from the transcript. That's the whole pitch. Sounds like a gimmick until you do it once and then everything else feels broken. A 20-minute talking-head interview becomes a clean 5-minute cut in under an hour. The Overdub voice clone is good enough that I've had to tell clients I used it.
Best for short-form video
For short-form — Reels, TikTok, Shorts — I haven't found a reason to pay for anything else. Auto-captions are accurate, the background remover is free, and the AI B-roll is good enough that nobody asks. Owned by ByteDance, so make your own call on that. I use it. It works.
Most realistic AI voice
The voice clone is what sold me. Two minutes of clean audio and you have a synthetic voice good enough to fool friends. I use it for client explainer videos when the client doesn't have time to do voiceover themselves — they record one paragraph, I generate the rest. No other text-to-speech tool is close. $5 a month to start. There's no real argument for using anything else.

Me. One person. I run Infinfy Solutions out of Vancouver — a small AI-powered agency that's basically me, my wife, and a whole stack of AI tools doing what would normally take a team of twenty.
I'm not a marketing guy. I'm not going to put my face on this page or pretend I have a "team of certified content strategists." Before this I ran a vegan restaurant in Sri Lanka and lost almost $200K when the lease and the timing both went sideways. Came back to Canada with nothing. Found AI. This is the calling.
So when I review a tool here, it's because I used it on a real client project — not because someone slid into my DMs offering a 30% commission to write nice things.
