| Kai's verdict | A-tier. HeyGen wins for creators, Synthesia wins for enterprise. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. |
