Category	coding	coding	design	writing
Pricing	Free + $20/mo Pro + $40/mo Business	Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans	Included with Figma plans	$19-$59/mo
Best for	Developers. Non-developers who want to ship working code.	Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs.	Designers already on Figma.	Novelists, screenwriters, fiction short-form writers.
Strengths	Tab completion feels like mind-reading Composer for multi-file edits Runs Claude, GPT, Gemini — you pick	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks	First drafts with Make Designs Rename/rearrange layers automatically Natural language asset search	Brainstorm, expand, rewrite modes designed for fiction Story Bible for character + plot tracking Understands voice + tone better than generic chatbots
Weaknesses	Can feel overwhelming for non-coders Expensive at scale	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Features vary by plan + region Still rolling out	Pricey for casual use Fiction-only focus — not for business writing
Kai's verdict	S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.	S-tier for fiction. If you're writing a novel, this beats raw ChatGPT every time.
