Compare AI tools

	Claude Code S	Ideogram S	Figma AI A	Cursor S
Tagline	Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly.	The one that actually gets text in images right.	AI features baked into the design tool you already use.	VS Code fork that made AI coding actually work.
Category	coding	image	design	coding
Pricing	Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans	Free + $8/mo + $20/mo + $60/mo	Included with Figma plans	Free + $20/mo Pro + $40/mo Business
Best for	Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs.	Anything with text — posters, ads, album covers, slide decks.	Designers already on Figma.	Developers. Non-developers who want to ship working code.
Strengths	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks	Best text rendering in the game Strong free tier Good for logos, posters, thumbnails	First drafts with Make Designs Rename/rearrange layers automatically Natural language asset search	Tab completion feels like mind-reading Composer for multi-file edits Runs Claude, GPT, Gemini — you pick
Weaknesses	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Less style variety	Features vary by plan + region Still rolling out	Can feel overwhelming for non-coders Expensive at scale
Kai's verdict	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.	A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.	S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.
