| Kai's verdict | S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | A-tier. Best for fast prototypes. Competitive with Lovable — try both. |
