| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. |
