Workflow & Integration
How well it fits an existing stack, API and automation support.
Cost Efficiency
Real cost per useful output, including credit burn.
Reliability
Uptime, consistency and failure behaviour.
Data & Rights
Data handling, retention, training opt-out, and who owns the output.
Usability
Time to first useful result for the intended user.
