Cursor S | Grammarly A | Claude Code S | Rows A | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tagline | VS Code fork that made AI coding actually work. | Grammar check + tone + AI drafting, everywhere you type. | Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly. | Spreadsheets with AI + live integrations baked in. |

| Pricing | Free + $20/mo Pro + $40/mo Business | Free + $12-$15/mo Premium + team plans | Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans | Free + $19-$89/user/mo |
| Best for | Developers. Non-developers who want to ship working code. | Non-native English writers, business email, anyone who types a lot. | Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs. | Ops teams, marketers, anyone building dashboards from multiple sources. |

| Kai's verdict | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. |
