Kai's verdictA-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.
