| Kai's verdict | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | 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 solo + free. The best free option, hands down. |
