Good value, works well
Strong product with room to grow. The customization options let me tailor it to my exact workflow. The output quality surprised me — it actually sounds human. Some features feel half-baked — hopefully they'll improve. Five stars — no hesitation.

Worth every penny. Integration with my existing tools was seamless — no friction at all. The collaboration features are genuinely well thought-out. It integrates well with VS Code / Slack / Notion — my daily drivers.

Disappointing experience
Customer support left a lot to be desired. Pricing is fair for the value you get.
