What Jasper users actually say
Real feedback from the market. The delegation promise vs the editing reality.
“Outputs feel generic or need heavy editing”
Common user feedback pattern
The AI writes, but not in YOUR voice
“When I first started using Jasper, I was SO frustrated... I'd have to edit EVERYTHING it wrote”
Common user feedback pattern
Delegation without direction = rework
“Jasper AI has billing practices that border on fraudulent... dozens of similar complaints”
Common user feedback pattern
Surprise charges are common
“With free tools like ChatGPT and Bard in place, I feel like the pricing seems way too much”
Common user feedback pattern
The value gap is widening
The problem is not the AI - it is the instructions
Better prompts = better output from ANY AI. Instead of editing Jasper output, learn to give ChatGPT or Claude instructions that work the first time.
Pilot seat or passenger seat?
The fundamental question: Do you want AI to do the work, or do you want to learn how to direct AI to do exactly what you need?
The Passenger Seat
Jasper AI approach
AI writes FOR you
Pick a template, provide inputs, get content
Review and edit output
Often requires significant rework to match your voice
Locked to one platform
Skills and workflows tied to Jasper
Trade-off: Fast output, but dependency grows over time. If Jasper changes pricing or shuts down, you start from zero.
The Pilot Seat
AskSmarter.ai approach
AI teaches you to direct AI
Learn what makes prompts work through guided questions
Get it right the first time
Better instructions = less editing downstream
Works everywhere
Use prompts with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI
Investment: Skill builds over time. Your prompting ability grows, and it works with ANY AI tool - today and tomorrow.
One builds equity. One rents results.
Every prompt you build with us teaches you something. After a month, you understand what makes AI respond well. After a year, you can direct any AI like an expert.
Jasper users after a year? Still clicking the same templates, still editing the same outputs, still paying $49-125/month.

Common questions
Why learn prompting when Jasper writes for me?
Jasper locks you into one tool. Prompting skills work everywhere - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and whatever comes next. When you know how to direct AI, you're never dependent on a single vendor.
Is €12/month really comparable to Jasper at $49+?
Different tools, different approaches. Jasper is a content factory - it writes for you. AskSmarter teaches you to write better prompts that work with any AI. If you want output handed to you, Jasper wins. If you want transferable skills, we win.
What about Jasper's 50+ templates?
Templates are starting points that still need editing. AskSmarter builds prompts tailored to YOUR specific situation through guided questions. Custom beats generic - every time.
Can AskSmarter match Jasper's Brand Voice feature?
No - Brand Voice is an enterprise feature we don't offer. But the prompts you build with us can include your brand guidelines, tone preferences, and style requirements. It's manual, not automatic.
Should enterprises choose Jasper instead?
Probably. Jasper's SOC2 compliance, SSO, and team features are built for enterprise. We're built for individuals and small teams who want better AI results without enterprise pricing.

Many Jasper users find they still need to edit outputs heavily. Try AskSmarter free - build prompts that give you cleaner results from ChatGPT or Claude. If it works better, you just saved $37-113/month.
