| Kai's verdict | A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down. |
