Not worth it for me

Customer support left a lot to be desired. It integrates well with VS Code / Slack / Notion — my daily drivers. My only complaint is the pricing could be more competitive.

Best in class, no question

Best-in-class, period. The ROI was clear within the first week of using it. The free tier is genuinely generous compared to competitors. I've recommended this to at least 10 colleagues already. Five stars — no hesitation.

Decent but has room to grow

Mixed feelings, but ultimately positive. The outputs require minimal editing — saves so much back-and-forth. It handles edge cases better than anything else I've tried.
