Roaming charges abroad and when an eSIM is cheaper
Most UK networks now charge to use your phone abroad, in Europe and far more beyond it. I've priced a week in Spain, a fortnight in the USA and a week in Turkey on each network against a travel eSIM, so you can see which is cheaper for your trip.

Fyxer AI review for Gmail and Outlook users
Fyxer sorts Gmail or Outlook, drafts replies and records meetings, from $37 a month billed yearly. I'd pay only if I'd use both the inbox and meeting help.

Klaviyo now charges for every profile it can email, so a Shopify shop's bill grows with its checkout customers as well as its subscribers. Shopify Messaging covers the basics for little, Omnisend is the closest cheaper rival, and Privy suits shops whose first job is growing the list. Klaviyo is $100 a month at 5,000 profiles.

The best newsletter platforms for UK writers
Substack is free until readers pay, then keeps 10%; beehiiv, Kit, Ghost and the rest charge a flat fee instead. I work out which costs less at 1,000 and 10,000 subscribers, who brings you readers, who lets you leave with them, and what UK writers need to know about VAT and consent.

The best web scraping APIs for AI apps
A web scraping API fetches pages and hands back clean data. For feeding an AI app, Firecrawl is the fullest toolkit and Context.dev costs less per page; for protected shops, ScrapingBee, Zyte and Bright Data do better. What 10,000 pages cost on each, and what UK law says.

Ranked AI does it for you from $99 a month per site, Semrush or Ahrefs suit doing it yourself, and Peec AI tracks AI answers from €70 a month billed yearly. Whatever writes the pages, Google expects a person to check them.
