| Kai's verdict | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. | B-tier for individuals — Claude does this for less. A-tier for teams needing brand consistency. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. |
