Kai's verdictS-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing.
