Kai's verdict	S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down.	A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use.	S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.
