| 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. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class. | A-tier for ops automation. B-tier for simple copy (use Claude). |
