| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. | B-tier. Use Claude + manual SEO thinking. Writesonic is fast but generic. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. |
