Task guides
Each guide starts from a task somebody actually has - a monthly budget, a required output, a hard limit - and shows what the shortlist meets, what it does not, and what we could not establish. A price that fits is never presented as a task that passes.
The most recently read source row was read on 2026-11-02; each source row on a guide page carries its own read date. Budgets assume a US personal account, USD before tax and monthly billing without annual prepayment. Region, eligibility and checkout prices can differ, and nothing here is a generation, quality or workload test.
Choose an assistant for PDFs, documents and code
ChatGPT and Claude fit the subscription budget; file formats and shared usage limits still need checking.
Check Sora and DALL·E 3 generation access
On September 23, 2026, old product pages do not establish access to new generation; check each channel separately.
Find ad music you can download for clients
Suno Pro fits the price cap, but licensing needs clarification; Udio downloads are disabled.
Compare tools for ten 1080p clips with sound
Plan credits alone do not confirm the full cost of twenty generations and 1080p downloads with sound and no branded watermark.
Choose tools for editable SVG and transparent PNG
Recraft supports vector editing; delivery of both an editable SVG and a transparent PNG remains unverified.
Compare builders for GitHub sync and custom domains
Replit’s displayed $20 base figure and Bolt Pro’s $25 figure still need currency-qualified complete bills; Forge-only Lite lacks the required custom domain.
Check whether code and prompts stay on your Mac
Free local runtimes document on-device inference; a complete repository-editing setup that keeps every code and prompt operation on this Mac remains unconfirmed.
Compare ten PDFs in a Chinese evidence table
File capacity does not confirm coverage, traceable citations or table export; all four candidates remain unconfirmed.
Compare tools for five textured commercial game props
Sloyd documents unlimited generation but leaves the $ currency unspecified; Meshy’s 180-credit API calculation is not proof that a Web subscription pays the bill.
Compare tools for twelve editable PowerPoint slides
Gamma Free needs editable-export checks; Manus’s PowerPoint article and current plan names do not establish Free access. The checked Genspark monthly route exceeds the cap; Notion billing units and trial access remain unverified.
Which assistants can be used from mainland China
Kimi has official CNY prices and file limits; none of these rows establishes the complete mainland-China region and document workflow required by this task.
Choose a text-to-speech route for deliverable narration
Vendors publish usage estimates, but purchase currency, region or the required web export remain unverified for several routes.
Compare avatar presenters for one scripted training video
Starter still documents 1080p downloads and separate monthly video minutes, but its current market-qualified price is unconfirmed. Basic cannot download; the other paid rows retain their stated gaps.
