| Kai's verdict | S-tier in its category. The first AI music tool I'd actually listen to. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results. | A-tier. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month. |
