| Kai's verdict | B-tier for individuals — Claude does this for less. A-tier for teams needing brand consistency. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. |
