| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. | A-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right. | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. |
