| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Use Claude + manual SEO thinking. Writesonic is fast but generic. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
