| Kai's verdict | A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. |
