Compare AI tools

	GitHub Copilot B	Claude Code S	Aider A	Figma AI A
Tagline	Microsoft/GitHub's autocomplete. Deep VS Code + JetBrains integration.	Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly.	Terminal-based AI pair programmer. Git-aware, model-flexible.	AI features baked into the design tool you already use.
Category	coding	coding	coding	design
Pricing	Free (limited) + $10/mo Pro + $19/mo Business	Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans	Free (open source) + whatever API you use	Included with Figma plans
Best for	Teams with GitHub already. Devs who don't want to change IDEs.	Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs.	Developers who want open-source tooling with full control.	Designers already on Figma.
Strengths	Great enterprise story Works in your existing IDE Chat + autocomplete	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks	Works in any terminal Auto-commits changes with meaningful messages Works with any model (Claude, GPT, local) Minimal learning curve	First drafts with Make Designs Rename/rearrange layers automatically Natural language asset search
Weaknesses	Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code Model quality varies	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Terminal-only Less agentic than Claude Code Setup on Windows is fiddly	Features vary by plan + region Still rolling out
Kai's verdict	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.	A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.
