| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | B-tier. Use Claude + manual SEO thinking. Writesonic is fast but generic. | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. |
