GitHub Copilot B | Ideogram S | Claude Code S | Bolt.new (StackBlitz) A | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tagline | Microsoft/GitHub's autocomplete. Deep VS Code + JetBrains integration. | The one that actually gets text in images right. | Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly. | Prompt to deployed full-stack app in the browser. |
| Category | coding | image | coding | coding |
| Pricing | Free (limited) + $10/mo Pro + $19/mo Business | Free + $8/mo + $20/mo + $60/mo | Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans | Free + $20-$200/mo |
| Best for | Teams with GitHub already. Devs who don't want to change IDEs. | Anything with text — posters, ads, album covers, slide decks. | Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs. | PMs, founders, non-devs shipping MVPs. |

| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier. Best for fast prototypes. Competitive with Lovable — try both. |
