| 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. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. |
