| Kai's verdict | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class. | A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs. |
