Good value, works well
Strong product with room to grow. The outputs require minimal editing — saves so much back-and-forth. Some features feel half-baked — hopefully they'll improve.

Needs a lot of improvement
Disappointed with the experience. The customization options let me tailor it to my exact workflow. Performance is fast — no noticeable latency even on large inputs. The mobile experience could use some work.

Exactly what I needed
Best-in-class, period. The customization options let me tailor it to my exact workflow. The interface is intuitive enough that I didn't need to read any docs. The onboarding flow was smooth and I was productive from day one.
