Each column describes what that kind of product is built to do, not a snapshot of its feature list — capabilities change, and several of these tools can be extended with add-ons or custom setup. Nothing here is a claim about what any of them charge. Check current features and pricing with each provider before you decide.
Credit where it's due
They bring you buyers you never had to find. We don't generate demand for you — your pipeline is built from your own outreach and your own page.
Better raw writing, and free. If all you need is a bio rewritten or a pitch tightened, open ChatGPT — you don't need us for that.
Far deeper reporting, automation and integrations. With a team and a process to model, they'll outgrow what we offer.
Real design control. If you want a fully art-directed portfolio, build it properly and point it at your booking link.
The difference
Read the table again and one pattern runs through it. The AI needs you to open a chat. The CRM needs you to log the lead. The calendar needs the meeting already agreed. The link page needs someone to fill in a form and wait for you.
Yanan answers, quotes from your own rules, sends your kit and files the booking — while you're on stage.
Free to start. Pro is ₱497/month — less than one gig, and a fraction of what a part-time assistant costs.

If one of those is you, we'd rather you kept your money. If none of them are, the free plan costs nothing to try.
