| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. |
