Best forDevelopers. Non-developers who want to ship working code.Developers who want Cursor-like power for less money.Designers already on Figma.Developers using open-source models (Flux, SDXL, Whisper, etc).

Kai's verdictS-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.A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.
