| 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. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform. |
