| Kai's verdict | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. |
