| Kai's verdict | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. |
