Writing and content decision
GPTSlides
A technical user can build a lean self-hosted review site that reproduces GPTSlides' core functionality (articles, rankings, pricing ingestion) within a week and low ongoing ops; there are no durable moats evident on the site pages.

No pricing page we fetched carried a figure, so there is nothing to compare against. The build side is still real.
$100one-off36 h to build
$0/mo3 h/mo upkeep
No published price to break even against.
No open-source build does this yet
Nothing published replaces this one, so a replacement starts from an empty file. Here is what it would have to cover.
What a replacement has to do
- Author and publish comparative reviews and rankings of AI presentation tools; ingest competitor pricing and screenshots; allow search and filtering; render static article pages and ranking widgets.
What it still won’t have
- Organic traffic and brand recognition that the live site has built
- Any editorial relationships, sponsored content deals, or existing backlinks
- Historical analytics and user data if not exported from the original
What remains hard
- Product polish and ongoing maintenance
First-year cost
No published price
GPTSlides does not publish a price we could read, so there is nothing to compare against. What building costs is below.

Runnable build prompt
Build a small review and rankings site for AI presentation tools using Next.js (React) + Markdown (or a lightweight headless CMS) + PostgreSQL (or SQLite) for structured metadata, and Meilisearch for search. Core features: Markdown-driven review pages, ranking table component, automated scraper/job that fetches competitor names, pricing text, and screenshots on a schedule, admin scripts to import/update items, site search and filters (category, price range), responsive UI templates for article and comparison pages, and a sitemap. Out of scope: training ML models or building a recommendation engine. Include error handling for scraper failures, tests for scraper and page rendering, and CI deploy to Vercel or a small VPS; document setup, cron job config, and backup instructions.

How the score was reached
- Build verdict base78
- 2 cited sources+1
- Evidence score79
The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
