| Kai's verdict | A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks. | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | 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. |
