| Kai's verdict | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier for sales teams. B-tier for solo users. |
