| Tagline | Cognition Labs' autonomous coding engineer. | VS Code fork that made AI coding actually work. | The one that actually gets text in images right. | Grammar check + tone + AI drafting, everywhere you type. |

| Kai's verdict | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone. |
