| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Great price/performance. Go here if ElevenLabs is too expensive. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. |
