| Kai's verdict | A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters. | B-tier. Use Claude + manual SEO thinking. Writesonic is fast but generic. | 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. |
