| Kai's verdict | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. |
