Solid product, recommended
Genuinely useful — glad I tried it. The outputs require minimal editing — saves so much back-and-forth. It handles edge cases better than anything else I've tried. My team adopted this immediately after I shared it with them. Wish the free tier had slightly higher limits.

Best in class, no question
One of the best investments I've made. The interface is intuitive enough that I didn't need to read any docs. Best tool in this category, hands down.

Mixed experience overall
Has potential, but needs polish. Works consistently across all my devices and browsers. The API is well-documented and easy to work with.

Expected better
Customer support left a lot to be desired. I've tried 5 similar tools and this one is clearly the best in class. Customer support responded within hours and solved my issue.

Very useful, mostly polished
Mostly great, minor complaints. It integrates well with VS Code / Slack / Notion — my daily drivers. My only complaint is the pricing could be more competitive. A staple in my tech stack now.

Good for some things, not others
Useful but frustrating at times. The ROI was clear within the first week of using it. The free tier is genuinely generous compared to competitors. The UI takes some getting used to.
