| Kai's verdict | S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down. | S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. |
