Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs.B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google.
