| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. |
