| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Great price/performance. Go here if ElevenLabs is too expensive. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier. If you're on Vercel/shadcn, this is cheating. |
