Great tool, minor quibbles
Good value for the price. The AI suggestions are incredibly accurate and save me hours every week. Wish the free tier had slightly higher limits. Best tool in this category, hands down.

A must-have for any professional
Best-in-class, period. The accuracy has improved significantly with recent model updates. The interface is intuitive enough that I didn't need to read any docs. The AI doesn't just suggest — it learns from my preferences over time.

Not worth it for me
Customer support left a lot to be desired. Works consistently across all my devices and browsers. The onboarding flow was smooth and I was productive from day one. I'd love to see better export options.
