| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | S-tier. Category-defining UX. If you take notes in meetings, switch this week. | A-tier. HeyGen wins for creators, Synthesia wins for enterprise. |
