| Kai's verdict | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. |
