Kai's verdictS-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.B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.
