Hey, I’m the person behind AI Tools Solo.
I’m a solopreneur who got tired of reading tool reviews written by people who clearly never used the thing they’re reviewing. You know the ones — “Top 10 AI Writing Tools” where every single one gets a glowing 4.5/5 and an affiliate link.
That’s not what this site is.
I actually buy, test, and build with every tool I write about. Sometimes for weeks. Sometimes I burn real money figuring out the pricing traps so you don’t have to. When I say Make.com’s free tier is a trap, it’s because I spent $12K on automations to find out where the walls are. When I compare Descript vs Riverside, it’s after editing 200+ podcast episodes across both.
What this site is about
Real, field-tested reviews and comparisons of AI tools, automation platforms, and SaaS products — written for people who work alone and can’t afford to waste time or money on the wrong tool.
I cover:
- AI writing tools — Jasper, ChatGPT, Claude, and whatever ships next week
- Automation platforms — Make.com, Zapier, n8n, and the no-code stack
- Email & newsletters — Beehiiv, ConvertKit, Substack, the whole landscape
- Hosting & infrastructure — Hostinger, Cloudflare, Vercel, and the budget tier reality
- Podcast & video — Descript, Riverside, and the editing tools that actually save time
Who this is for
Solopreneurs, indie hackers, freelancers, one-person content teams, small agency owners — anyone building something without a team of 50 behind them. If you make your own tool decisions and pay for them out of your own pocket, this site is for you.
The deal
No fluff. No filler. No “it depends” without telling you what I’d actually pick. Every post ends with a clear recommendation because you came here for an answer, not a hedge.
If I’m wrong about something, tell me. If there’s a tool you want me to test, reach out.
