| Kai's verdict | S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier for sales teams. B-tier for solo users. | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. |
