|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tagline | Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly. | AI slide decks that don't look AI-generated. | The one that actually gets text in images right. | VS Code fork that made AI coding actually work. |
| Category | coding | productivity | image | coding |
| Pricing | Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans | Free + $10-$20/mo | Free + $8/mo + $20/mo + $60/mo | Free + $20/mo Pro + $40/mo Business |
| Best for | Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs. | Pitch decks, proposals, internal presentations — fast. | Anything with text — posters, ads, album covers, slide decks. | Developers. Non-developers who want to ship working code. |

| Kai's verdict | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. |
