| Kai's verdict | A-tier for social/casual. B-tier for serious work. Good entry point. | B-tier for individuals — Claude does this for less. A-tier for teams needing brand consistency. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews. |
