Kai's verdictS-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.A-tier. Great price/performance. Go here if ElevenLabs is too expensive.A-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead.B-tier. Use Claude + manual SEO thinking. Writesonic is fast but generic.
