Manifesto

I built OneHuman because no one was tracking what AI companies actually charge versus what they claim to charge.

I'm a Finance/Investment expert with a portfolio of cutting-edge startup tech investments. I know how to read financial disclosures and spot conflicts of interest. I started coding decades ago, when it was a very new thing. When I started using AI tools actively in early 2023, I expected the same transparency I'd demand from any financial product.

The AI tool market doesn't work that way. Pricing — hidden behind feature muddle. Reviews — written by affiliates. Socmed testimonials — written by paid hawkers. Benchmarks — on hand-picked prompts. Rate limits that change without notice.

OneHuman is the correction. Every price verified. Every claim sourced. Every correction public. No ads, no investors, no pressure to rank tools I have deals with. No human payroll to worry about. My AI agents and tools work 24/7 and don't ask for anything.

This is consumer protection when you don't answer to anyone.

How This Works

Every price on this site was verified by me. I confirmed the tier details directly and logged the source URL. If I cite a number, I can show you where it came from.

Every detected change is reviewed before publication. Verification steps: screenshot the source, cross-check against archive.org, confirm whether the change is promotional or permanent, confirm the effective date.

When AI models disagree on a data point, I check the official source directly, find two or more independent reports, and test with a dummy account if needed. The AI assists — I decide. Full methodology at /methodology.

Why Independent Analysis Matters

When a major AI lab changes its pricing, the people who get hurt are the ones who didn't know. Developers who budgeted wrong. Teams that got locked into the wrong tier. Individuals who kept paying for a tool that no longer fits their needs.

Example: In February 2026, ChatGPT Plus quietly increased from $20/month to $25/month for new subscribers, while existing users stayed at $20 for 90 days. Most comparison sites didn't catch it for weeks. The people who signed up during that window overpaid by $60/year without realizing it.

OneHuman is a watchdog — not a marketing channel. The goal is a running public record of what AI tools actually cost, what they actually do, and when that changes.

The Iron Rules

  1. 1.Every data point has a source URL.
  2. 2.Corrections are appended to the changelog with the original claim visible. Nothing is silently edited.
  3. 3.No tool is reviewed without me having direct access to it.
  4. 4.Vendor relationships are disclosed immediately. If a vendor offers preferential access in exchange for favorable coverage, I decline and log the offer in /changelog.

Who Builds This

I built OneHuman alone, using AI tools to scale the research. The AI assists — I decide. Claude handles data extraction and code; GitHub Copilot assists development; Grok, Gemini, and Perplexity are used for research and cross-checking. But every claim published here has my name on it, even if you don't know what it is.
