| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. |
