Choosing between them
What the scores do and do not capture.
Will anything here write a finished article for me?
No, and the ones that promise it are the ones to be most careful with. These tools are fastest at the parts writing is slowest at — outlines, second drafts, rewriting a paragraph six ways — and slowest at the part that matters, which is knowing what is true.
Does AI-written text get penalised in search?
Not for being AI-written as such. Google's stated position is that it judges the result, not the method. Thin, unhelpful content ranks badly whoever produced it, and that is where most AI-drafted pages actually fail.
What do the free tiers usually restrict?
Words per month, almost always, and sometimes access to the better underlying model. The tools with a free tier are marked here and the specific caps are on each tool's own page.
