| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | A-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | B-tier. Use Claude + manual SEO thinking. Writesonic is fast but generic. |
