	Claude Code S	Figma AI A	Ideogram S	Claude Agent SDK S
Tagline	Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly.	AI features baked into the design tool you already use.	The one that actually gets text in images right.	Anthropic's SDK for building your own agents on Claude.
Category	Coding	Design	Image	Agents
Pricing	Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans	Included with Figma plans	Free + $8/mo + $20/mo + $60/mo	API usage + SDK is free
Best for	Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs.	Designers already on Figma.	Anything with text — posters, ads, album covers, slide decks.	Developers building custom agents for their own company/product.
Strengths	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks	First drafts with Make Designs Rename/rearrange layers automatically Natural language asset search	Best text rendering in the game Strong free tier Good for logos, posters, thumbnails	Production-grade agent primitives Built on Claude (best reasoning) Full control — build exactly what you need
Weaknesses	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Features vary by plan + region Still rolling out	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Less style variety	Developer-only You build the UI
Kai's verdict	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.	S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.	S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood.
