| 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. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. |
