| Kai's verdict | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. Best for fast prototypes. Competitive with Lovable — try both. |
