| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Use Claude + manual SEO thinking. Writesonic is fast but generic. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. | 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. |
