| Kai's verdict | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down. | A-tier. Best for teaching a kid to code in 2026. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. |
