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.	S-tier for conversation. A-tier for TTS. Complement to ElevenLabs, not replacement.	A-tier. Best for fast prototypes. Competitive with Lovable — try both.
