Kai's verdictS-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.
