| Kai's verdict | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. |
