Kai's verdictS-tier for fiction. If you're writing a novel, this beats raw ChatGPT every time.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.A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form.
