| Kai's verdict | B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option. | S-tier. Market leader with reason. Start here for serious video. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. |
