| Pricing | Free + $12-$15/mo Premium + team plans | Free tier + $39-$199/mo | Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans | Free + $8/mo + $20/mo + $60/mo |
| Best for | Non-native English writers, business email, anyone who types a lot. | People who want to hand off tasks entirely — trip planning, research, spreadsheet building. | Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs. | Anything with text — posters, ads, album covers, slide decks. |

| Kai's verdict | A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone. | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
