| Kai's verdict | B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. |
