Why this exists
Too many IT purchases start with a slick demo and the quiet fear that everyone else already bought it. That's envy-driven procurement, and it's expensive. These tools make the pattern visible — and give you language to push back. Four of them never leave your browser. One (the Translator) uses a metered, cost-capped AI endpoint. None of them are trying to sell you anything.
