Automation for freelancers and small businesses
Automation tools pay for themselves only when the task you automate happens often enough. We look at where the practical break-even point sits for a solo business, and which platforms stay affordable once you move past a handful of simple two-step workflows.
What we look for in automation
- How pricing behaves as your task volume grows
- Which apps are supported, and how deeply
- What happens when a workflow silently fails
- Whether you need technical knowledge to maintain it
