Kai's verdictS-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.A-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead.B-tier. Use Claude + manual SEO thinking. Writesonic is fast but generic.
