| Kai's verdict | S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. |
