The Money Talk – What AI Really Costs (And What It Saves)

Let's tackle the big question: what do these tools actually cost, and are they worth it? Many powerful business tools are completely free, while others cost less than your monthly coffee budget – often just $10-20 per month. More importantly, we'll show you how to calculate what they save: if they save you just 3 hours per week, what's that worth to your bottom line? Through real examples, you'll see how businesses save $150+ weekly on tasks like social media management. We'll cover smart spending strategies, including how to start free and upgrade only when it makes financial sense.
