| Kai's verdict | S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down. | A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results. |
