| Kai's verdict | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down. | B-tier. Useful for first drafts. v0 is the better bet for shipping code. |
