| Kai's verdict | A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone. | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. |
