| Kai's verdict | A-tier. HeyGen wins for creators, Synthesia wins for enterprise. | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. |
