| Pricing | Free + $20/mo Pro | Token-based; requires Cursor plan (Pro from $20/mo). Composer 2 at $0.50/$2.50 per M tokens (in/out); fast variant $1.50/$7.50 per M tokens. | Included with ChatGPT Pro $200/mo | Free + $39-$99/mo |
| Best for | Replacing Google for any question where you want a cited answer in seconds. | Engineering teams who already use Cursor and want to embed its coding-agent runtime into CI/CD pipelines, backend services, or internal developer tools without building agent infrastructure from scratch. | Power users willing to pay $200/mo for a browser bot. | Podcasters + enterprises where cost matters. |

| Kai's verdict | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | If your team is already in the Cursor ecosystem, this is a genuinely compelling way to turn ad-hoc AI coding sessions into durable, automated workflows — but the beta label and Cursor's history with opaque pricing mean you'll want to set hard budget guardrails before going to production. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.) | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | A-tier. Great price/performance. Go here if ElevenLabs is too expensive. |
