| Kai's verdict | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. |
