| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | S-tier all-rounder. If you want one tool that does everything okay-to-great, this is it. | B-tier. Use Claude + manual SEO thinking. Writesonic is fast but generic. |
