|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tagline | Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly. | Cognition Labs' autonomous coding engineer. | The one that actually gets text in images right. | Google's answer. Best integrated with Workspace + free for a lot. |
| Category | coding | agents | image | chat |
| Pricing | Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans | $500/mo | Free + $8/mo + $20/mo + $60/mo | Free + $20/mo Advanced (bundled with 2TB Drive) |
| Best for | Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs. | Engineering teams offloading tickets. Ops/platform work. | Anything with text — posters, ads, album covers, slide decks. | Anyone already on Google, research tasks, summarizing long documents. |

| Kai's verdict | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. |
