Kai's verdictA-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs.B-tier. Use Claude + manual SEO thinking. Writesonic is fast but generic.
