| Kai's verdict | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter. | B-tier. Use Claude + manual SEO thinking. Writesonic is fast but generic. |
