| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Best for fast prototypes. Competitive with Lovable — try both. | S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. |
