| Kai's verdict | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | A-tier. HeyGen wins for creators, Synthesia wins for enterprise. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. |
