| Kai's verdict | A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. Great price/performance. Go here if ElevenLabs is too expensive. | A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone. |
