| Kai's verdict | A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks. | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. |
