I rank the best and the worst AI tools to make money in 2026.

Some of these schools can 10x your income in the next 90 days, while others are complete waste of time and keep frustrated.

And here's the thing, most people are chasing shiny objects, the overhyped tools that influencers promote for affiliate commissions, while real money makers are sitting right under your nose.

I've personally tested over 100 AI tools in the last 18 months.

I mean actually built businesses with them, making money with them and watching what works in the real world.

And I'm going to show you exactly the ones that are worth your time and the ones which you should avoid, like your weird taxes.

If you're going to spend the next 10 minutes watching this video and getting ahead of 99% of people, or you're going to keep scrolling and watching surface level content and wondering why everyone else is making money with AI while you're still stuck in the same place.

By the end of this video, you're going to know exactly which AI tools to use, which tier they belong to, and

most importantly, the businesses you can build around each one of them to start making money.

Now, I'm going to break this down into five tiers.

S tier, non negotiables, A tier solid and valuable, B tier, niche but powerful, C tier works in rare cases.

It's flashy, it's hyped, but there's zero real value for every single tool.

I'm going to give you a simple scorecard.

Ease of use, speed of money, income potential.

Plus I'll show you the three alternatives so you don't have to spend a fortune getting started.

Most importantly, I'll show you how to turn that tool and turn that into a business that makes income.

Now before that, let me tell you, I've personally built a lot of AI tools.

I've vibe coded a lot of these stuff myself from scratch.

And no, I'm not going to sell it to you in this video, but

I'll mention briefly because it taught me what actually works and what's just smoke and mirrors in the AI space.

I recently spoke at the One Billion Summit in Dubai alongside creators like Mr.

And I got to see firsthand how big brands and creators are using AI to scale their businesses at really insane levels.

And let me tell you, most of them aren't just using tools like you think they are.

And here's something most people don't understand.

You think people who work hard make more money, right?

But do you really think millionaires and billionaires are the hardest working people on earth?

And AI just made smart people work easier than ever before.

You need to understand which tools to use and also how to leverage them.

Before I rank these tools, here's why I'm obsessed with finding the right ones.

Effort without direction is just expensive noise.

It wasn't until I figured out how to work smarter with the tools that actually move the needle.

If I want to create a presentation, instead of having to create a presentation, it takes long, long time.

And I fly all around the world to do this.

I just go to something like NotebookLM, I go to Canva, I go to Gamma, and

I can just click a button and put my previous presentation in there, add my other presentation, mix it up, and

So it kind of pisses me off a little bit when I see people wasting time on garbage tools like grinding with nothing to show for it.

And I'm not gonna let that happen to you because I figured out a way to.

I'm going to rank the top 15 AI tools across five tiers.

And for the ones that are S tier and A tier, I'm going to show you the exact business model that you can use to build around them.

And remember, I'm not going to go in order.

I'm going to reveal each tool, tell you what it does, and then drop a tier ranking.

This is ChatGPT's browser extension that integrates AI directly into your web browsing.

extract information information from any web page instantly, without copy, without pasting, without switching tabs.

It can extract key insights, go through documents.

It can pull out the important stuff automatically.

So the tier ranking for this I rank B because it's incredibly useful for people who do a lot of research or information work, like consultants, content creators like myself and analysts.

However, it's not enough to make you serious money on its own.

So ease of use 9 out of 10 speed of money 5 out of 10 income potential 4 out of 10 next tool and this will one you've definitely heard of.

And it's responsible for millions of dollars in revenue for creators and agencies.

Let's see what tier this one Lands in term number two, Midjourney.

You type a prompt, it creates stunning visuals.

Everything from product markups to social media graphics to full artwork.

Yes, it's hyped, but it's hyped for a reason.

It's still one of those best image generations out there and people are making serious money with it.

I have one of my friends who are taking, you know, pictures, their furniture, putting it into this image generation, showing people what their property would look like with the furniture in there.

And I would say income potential, 8 out of 10.

So the business model is sell AI generated images for business ads, websites and social media.

Charge five to a thousand per month for social media creatives, or create custom art for clients and charge 1 to 2000 per project.

She's basically putting her artwork in pictures of images of people, people's houses, and

she's selling them for thousands of dollars.

Now a free alternative to this would be Ideogram or Leonardo AI.

All right, the next tool is an AI writing tool.

And before you roll your eyes and yeah, I've seen millions of these, but

let's see if this one's actually worth it.

An AI writing tool promises to help you write better copy marketing copy, social media posts, emails, the whole thing.

It works in rare cases, but if you need quick social media captions, subject lines, sure, but

anything serious, you're better off with Chat, GPT or even.

I actually use Claude because it's better for writing.

It's not terrible, but it's not essential either.
