| Kai's verdict | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. |
