| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic. | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down. |
