| Kai's verdict | S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. |
