| Kai's verdict | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. |
