| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. | A-tier. Great price/performance. Go here if ElevenLabs is too expensive. |
