| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. |
