| Kai's verdict | S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down. | S-tier. Market leader with reason. Start here for serious video. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. |
