| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Great price/performance. Go here if ElevenLabs is too expensive. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. |
