Budget AI, Big ROI💸

Hey MetaCrew,

Yesterday, we talked about why ROI is the only metric that matters when it comes to AI.

Today, we’re getting tactical.

Because let’s face it, you don’t need a $5,000 tech stack to see massive results. Some of the best-performing AI tools on the market right now are surprisingly affordable, and they’re helping marketers, creators, and small businesses save time, grow faster, and scale smarter.

Ready to see more with less?

💬 Real Talk: You Don’t Need 50 Tools

You need a few that work, and a system that tracks their impact.

That’s where most businesses go wrong. They stack tools, get overwhelmed, and don’t measure results.

Keep it simple:

• What’s the tool’s purpose?

• What’s the output or outcome?

• How quickly can it deliver?
