| Kai's verdict | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. |
