Automate or Hire publishes write-ups on the choice between automating work with AI and hiring someone to do it. That is the whole remit — one subject, covered properly, rather than a little of everything.
Scope
In scope: the choice between automating work with AI and hiring someone to do it, the options available, and how they differ from one another in practice.
Out of scope: adjacent subjects that would broaden the site without making it more useful, and news coverage, which goes stale faster than it can be maintained.
What gets written here
Reviews of one option at a time, pairwise comparisons where the difference actually matters, and background pieces on how the category works.
Pages are written one at a time and published when they are finished, rather than generated in a batch to fill a directory.
How pages are put together
Where one option is better than another for a given job, that is said in words, with the reason attached. It is never expressed as a number.
- No scores out of ten, no star ratings, no tier boards and no leaderboards.
- No description of testing that did not take place.
- Pricing and feature claims are checked against the vendor’s own pages, and dated where the page says so.
- Where something is genuinely unclear, the page says it is unclear rather than guessing.
How it is paid for
Some outbound links on this site are affiliate links, which means a commission may be earned if you follow one and sign up. That arrangement never decides what appears here or in what order. It is set out in full under How This Site Is Funded.
Limits worth stating
Automate or Hire is published information, not advice for your particular situation. Nothing here is a recommendation tailored to you, and no page can know the constraints you are actually working under.
Corrections
If something here is wrong, out of date, or reads as more confident than the evidence supports, write to [email protected] and say so. A link to the page that contradicts it is the fastest way to get it fixed.
