Compare AI tools

	Cursor S	Granola S	GitHub Copilot B	OpenRouter S
Tagline	VS Code fork that made AI coding actually work.	Meeting notes that don't suck. Runs locally, no bot joins.	Microsoft/GitHub's autocomplete. Deep VS Code + JetBrains integration.	One API, every model. Pay-as-you-go, no subscriptions.
Category	Coding	Meetings	Coding	Dev Platform
Pricing	Free + $20/mo Pro + $40/mo Business	Free + $18/mo	Free (limited) + $10/mo Pro + $19/mo Business	Pay per token — model-dependent
Best for	Developers. Non-developers who want to ship working code.	Founders, execs, consultants who live in calls.	Teams with GitHub already. Devs who don't want to change IDEs.	Developers experimenting across models. Apps that want fallback logic.
Strengths	Tab completion feels like mind-reading Composer for multi-file edits Runs Claude, GPT, Gemini — you pick	No bot in the call — runs on your Mac Strong templates Fast summaries	Great enterprise story Works in your existing IDE Chat + autocomplete	300+ models from one endpoint Automatic fallbacks between providers No subscription — just pay what you use
Weaknesses	Can feel overwhelming for non-coders Expensive at scale	Mac-only Single-user by design	Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code Model quality varies	Slight markup over direct API Some provider features not exposed
Kai's verdict	S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.	S-tier. Category-defining UX. If you take notes in meetings, switch this week.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.
