| Kai's verdict | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. | S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. |
