Else

Key facts: Else brings AI agents into a workspace for everyday tasks such as research, writing, and creating useful deliverables. It is aimed at individuals and small teams who want to delegate work through a conversational interface. You say what you need — a 20-slide investor deck from your notes, a 5-day Tokyo trip plan, a monthly sales report from a CSV — and Else runs the job and hands back the result.

Tiers and pricing: Every task runs on a tier — Auto, Fast, Smart or Max — and the price depends on the tier. Leave it on Auto and Else picks the right tier for each job; you can change the tier whenever you like, even mid-task. Every task ends with an itemized receipt, priced to the fraction of a cent, and you can replay the run. The site’s own example: a Smart-tier run that turned three messy lines of expenses into a working spreadsheet cost $0.260554 and took 90 seconds.

Standing tasks and integrations: Some jobs should not need re-asking: give Else a standing task and it keeps doing it — digest your inbox every morning at 8, summarize the numbers every Friday afternoon, or watch a price and ping you when it drops. If a task goes past your spending limit, Else stops and asks first. It connects the apps you already use — Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, Notion and Calendar — plus hundreds more add-ons, and connected apps read only what you allow.

Pros

• Every task ends with an itemized receipt, priced to the fraction of a cent — you can see exactly what a job cost, and replay the run to check it
• Auto picks the right tier for each job (Auto, Fast, Smart or Max), and you can switch tiers anytime, even mid-task
• Standing tasks run on a schedule — a morning inbox digest, a Friday numbers summary, a price watcher — without re-asking
• A spending-limit guardrail: if a task goes past your limit, Else stops and asks first, right from your lock screen
• Connects Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, Notion and Calendar, and sending anything always asks you first

Watch out for

• Pricing is per job and depends on the tier, so costs vary by task — the same job on Max costs more than on Auto
• It is pay-per-job, not a flat monthly subscription — there is no fixed monthly price to budget against
• The starting balance is $5 — the site’s own example Smart run cost $0.26, so heavy Max-tier work will use it up faster

Best for

Individuals and small teams who want to delegate everyday work — research, writing, slides, travel, data and documents — through a conversational interface. Who should skip it: anyone who wants a flat monthly subscription with predictable billing, or a single-purpose tool for one narrow job.

Pricing

Freemium — new users start with a free balance. The site says “Start with $5 · balance never expires”. After that you pay per job, priced by the tier it runs on (Auto, Fast, Smart or Max). Check the official pricing page for current prices.
