| 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 in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. | S-tier for kids learning. The tutoring UX is legit — not a generic chatbot dressed up. |
