| Best for | People who want to hand off tasks entirely — trip planning, research, spreadsheet building. | Developers who want Cursor-like power for less money. | Teams with GitHub already. Devs who don't want to change IDEs. |

| Kai's verdict | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. | 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. |
