| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. |
