| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone. | S-tier for realtime. If latency matters more than voice catalog, start here. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. |
