| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. |
