| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. |
