| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results. | A-tier. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier. Market leader with reason. Start here for serious video. |
