| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option. | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. |
