Kai's verdictS-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down.A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
