Most small businesses don't need twenty AI tools. They need one tool for each job that keeps eating their week: posting on social media, making short videos, writing pages that show up on Google, and selling online. Here are the tools we use or have tested for each job, with real prices and the catch for each one.
Quick answer
- Social posts planned for you: Predis.ai (3-day free trial, then from $19/mo billed yearly)
- Captions on Reels you filmed: Submagic (from $12/mo billed yearly)
- Clips from long videos or podcasts: quso.ai (free plan; paid from $29/mo)
- Blog posts that rank: NeuronWriter (from $23/mo; 7-day trial)
- Fast SEO first drafts: SEOWriting.ai (3 free articles; from $14/mo billed yearly)
- Funnels, email and courses on $0: systeme.io (free forever plan; paid from $17/mo)
1. Predis.ai: a month of social posts in one sitting
Predis.ai turns a prompt into on-brand posts, carousels and short videos, writes the captions and hashtags, and schedules them to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Google Business Profile and more. It can also show what your competitors post.
Price: Core $19/mo billed yearly ($32 month-to-month, 1 brand, 1,300 credits). Rise $40/mo billed yearly (up to 4 brands). Every plan starts with 3 days free.
The catch: the trial needs a card and charges it when day 3 ends unless you cancel, and payments after the trial are non-refundable. Review every post before it goes out.

2. Submagic: captions and clean edits for Reels you filmed
Upload a talking-head video and Submagic adds animated captions, removes silences and bad takes, adds B-roll and a hook title, then exports without a watermark.
Price: Starter $19/mo, or $12/mo billed yearly (15 videos a month, up to 2 minutes each). Pro $39/mo, or $23/mo billed yearly (40 videos, 5 minutes).
The catch: it is priced per video, so if you post several times a day you will need Pro. It works best on footage you already have.

3. quso.ai: turn one long video into many short clips
quso.ai (formerly vidyo.ai) picks the best moments of a long video, podcast or stream, cuts them into captioned vertical clips and can schedule them to seven platforms.
Price: Free plan with 75 credits a month (720p with a watermark). Lite $29/mo or $174/yr; Essential $39/mo; Growth $49/mo. One credit is about one minute of processed video.
The catch: long podcasts use credits quickly, and the free plan's clips carry a watermark.

4. NeuronWriter: write pages that answer what people search for
NeuronWriter looks at the pages that already rank for your keyword and shows the terms, headings and questions they cover, then scores your draft as you write. It also has a content planner.
Price: Bronze $23/mo ($230/yr), Silver $45/mo, Gold $69/mo. You can test it free for 7 days on Gold terms.
The catch: it guides your writing; it does not rank pages for you. Bronze has only 25 documents a month.

5. SEOWriting.ai: fast first drafts of SEO articles
SEOWriting.ai writes long-form articles with headings, internal and external links and your brand voice, in bulk if you need it, and can publish to WordPress or Shopify.
Price: 3 free articles with no card. Starter $14/mo billed yearly ($168/yr, up to 50 articles). Professional $59/mo billed yearly.
The catch: treat every article as a first draft. Edit it, add your own experience and check the facts before you publish.

6. systeme.io: sell a course or ebook and build an email list on $0
systeme.io combines sales funnels, email marketing, an online course area and a simple website, with no transaction fees from systeme.io.
Price: free forever plan (2,000 contacts, 3 funnels, 1 course, unlimited email sends). Paid plans from $17/mo.
The catch: templates are simpler than premium builders, and the free plan allows only one automation rule.
