| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Great price/performance. Go here if ElevenLabs is too expensive. | 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. | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. |
