Kai's verdictA-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.B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.
