| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | A-tier for sales teams. B-tier for solo users. |
