| 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. | A-tier. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes. | A-tier. Best for teaching a kid to code in 2026. |
