Pick the right AI tool for the job.

When you open an AI tool, two questions determine whether you've made a good choice or a mistake. First: is your data safe with this platform at this pricing tier? Second: is this the right model for what you're actually trying to do?

This tool walks you through both.

Data exposure by platform and tier

What each major AI platform does with your data at every pricing level. Red and yellow mean your data is exposed. Green means contractual protection.

Paying for Plus/Pro/Advanced buys you features, not privacy. Real data protection (green rows) starts at Team or Enterprise tiers.
