Kai's verdictS-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs.
