| Kai's verdict | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. |
