Kai's verdictA-tier. Best for teaching a kid to code in 2026.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license.
