| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | B-tier. Use Claude + manual SEO thinking. Writesonic is fast but generic. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. |
