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. Use Claude + manual SEO thinking. Writesonic is fast but generic.A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.
