| Kai's verdict | S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | A-tier. Best for teaching a kid to code in 2026. |
