Kai's verdictS-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 search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform.
