| Kai's verdict | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter. | B-tier for individuals — Claude does this for less. A-tier for teams needing brand consistency. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. |
