| 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 multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros. |
