Compare AI tools

	Cursor S	Claude Code S	OpenRouter S	Figma AI A
Tagline	VS Code fork that made AI coding actually work.	Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly.	One API, every model. Pay-as-you-go, no subscriptions.	AI features baked into the design tool you already use.
Category	coding	coding	dev platform	design
Pricing	Free + $20/mo Pro + $40/mo Business	Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans	Pay per token — model-dependent	Included with Figma plans
Best for	Developers. Non-developers who want to ship working code.	Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs.	Developers experimenting across models. Apps that want fallback logic.	Designers already on Figma.
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	300+ models from one endpoint Automatic fallbacks between providers No subscription — just pay what you use	First drafts with Make Designs Rename/rearrange layers automatically Natural language asset search
Weaknesses	Can feel overwhelming for non-coders Expensive at scale	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Slight markup over direct API Some provider features not exposed	Features vary by plan + region Still rolling out
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.	S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.	A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.
