What to test before paying
Use real work, not toy prompts. A paid AI subscription should save time on the tasks you actually repeat.
- Ask it to solve one real work problem from start to finish.
- Upload a typical file if files matter to you.
- Check whether the output needs heavy human correction.
- Look for limits after a normal work session.
- Read privacy and cancellation rules before annual billing.
