One question, asked honestly, about every task you'd hire out.
Freelance rates were set when a human was the only option. That's changed for some work and not for other work, and nobody keeps a straight list of which is which. This is that list: the task, what it costs to hire out, whether the current tools can really do it, and the exact prompt to try if they can.
Every cost is a median rate from freelance marketplaces, with the date we last checked it. If we can't source a number, the row says so.
A verdict only ships after someone actually does the task with the tool we recommend. The prompt on the page is the one that produced the result.
"AI can do it" means the output is good enough for the job most people are buying. It doesn't mean the professional version is worthless.
Two links on each task page — one to the AI tool, one to a marketplace where you can hire a human — becoming affiliate links as we're accepted into each platform's program. Both are always present, whichever way the verdict goes. Sponsors get a labelled slot, never a verdict.
The format is lifted, with thanks, from canivibecodeit.com, which asks the same question about software subscriptions. This site asks it about people's crafts, which deserves a more careful answer.
New verdicts, changed verdicts, and the occasional note when a tool crosses the line from "kinda" to "yes". One email a week.
