Kai's verdict	B-tier. Use Claude + manual SEO thinking. Writesonic is fast but generic.	S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.	S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.	B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.
