The short version

  • Only Tailwind CSS has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Mmhmm renamed to Airtime and split into four separate tools, Camera, Recorder, Creator and Stacks, rather than the single app the mmhmm name refers to; Tailwind CSS hTML markup becomes verbose with many utility classes (class="flex items-center justify-between bg-gradient-to-r..."); readability challenges for complex layouts

Tailwind CSS
