| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | B-tier for individuals — Claude does this for less. A-tier for teams needing brand consistency. | S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews. | B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform. |
