Tagline	Open-source VS Code agent. Reads + writes + runs.	One API, every model. Pay-as-you-go, no subscriptions.	Microsoft/GitHub's autocomplete. Deep VS Code + JetBrains integration.	AI features baked into the design tool you already use.
Category	Coding	Dev Platform	Coding	Design
Pricing	Free (open source) + your API costs	Pay per token — model-dependent	Free (limited) + $10/mo Pro + $19/mo Business	Included with Figma plans
Best for	VS Code users who want agentic coding without changing IDEs.	Developers experimenting across models. Apps that want fallback logic.	Teams with GitHub already. Devs who don't want to change IDEs.	Designers already on Figma.
Strengths	Free extension for VS Code Plan + Act modes Model-agnostic (Claude, GPT, local) Sees terminal output and iterates	300+ models from one endpoint Automatic fallbacks between providers No subscription — just pay what you use	Great enterprise story Works in your existing IDE Chat + autocomplete	First drafts with Make Designs Rename/rearrange layers automatically Natural language asset search
Weaknesses	Can burn tokens fast if not watched Less polished than Cursor	Slight markup over direct API Some provider features not exposed	Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code Model quality varies	Features vary by plan + region Still rolling out
Kai's verdict	A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.	S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.
