Kai's verdictA-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.
