Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option.
