| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Niche but beloved. If you've outgrown Notion, try this. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down. |
