Kai's verdictS-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead.S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses.
