About us

IA España is an independent editorial project about artificial intelligence tools, aimed at businesses, freelancers and professionals in Spain. There is one person behind it: Álvaro Cimadevilla. There is no company, no network of freelance writers and no agency. The person who writes, checks the prices, maintains the calculators and answers email is the same person, and that is also the name credited on the articles.

We put it that way because that is exactly what there is. The site was built with no outside investment, no commercial pressure and no team to spread responsibility across. When the only person maintaining a site also signs its work, the quality is easier to spot: there is no list of names to attach a mistake to, and that forces more verification, not less.

This site is funded by advertising served through Google AdSense. There are no paid articles, we do not sell data, and we do not charge for reviews. The full explanation is in how we make money.

Our editorial standard

We cover a market that changes every few months. That demands a stricter standard than a generalist blog, because an outdated number stops being imprecise and becomes misleading. Our rules are four:

1. Prices are checked, not estimated. When we publish what a model costs per million tokens or what a plan includes, the figure comes from the provider's official documentation or pricing page, with the date we looked at it. That is the reason behind the pricing page and the token cost calculator: if a number cannot be calculated, it should not be written by hand.
2. Every figure shows its source. Articles declare the sources consulted and the date they were checked, linking to the primary source. Where there is no primary source, we do not publish the figure.
3. Opinion is separated from data. If a piece says one tool works better than another, the reasoning is written out and can be argued with. If it says a plan costs 20 USD a month, that is a verifiable fact. We never mix the two to lend the second the authority of the first.
4. What we do not know, we do not write. If a tool changes price and we have not checked it yet, we prefer to say so in the article rather than quietly leave it out.

About the information we publish

We write in Spanish and English and keep both versions. The English one is a translation of the Spanish, not an independent text: when the two differ, the Spanish version governs, because it is the one reviewed first.

Model prices are stored in a single file in the code and every page reads from there. That lets us correct them in one place instead of fifty, and it is also what allows us to say honestly when each one was last checked. The methodology page explains the process step by step.

What this site is not

• We are not a software company. We sell nothing, and there are no subscriptions or free trials.
• We are not a news outlet. There is no news desk, no op-ed section and no current-affairs content.
• We are not a consultancy. Nothing here is professional, tax or legal advice. For decisions with legal or tax consequences in your business, talk to someone who can stand behind them.
• We are not an aggregator. We do not copy other people's content. Where we cite a source it is to check it against, and the link goes to the original.
