| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing. |
