Most AI tools I recommend start at $20-50/month per tool. ChatGPT Plus is $20/month, Claude is similar, and many specialized tools are in this range.

For food service businesses, I typically recommend starting with ChatGPT for social media content and customer responses, Canva AI for graphics, and potentially a chatbot for handling common questions.
