| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | A-tier. Best for cinematic image-to-video. Pair with Runway for coverage. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. |
