| Kai's verdict | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs. |
