| Kai's verdict | S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. |
