| Kai's verdict | A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone. | B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters. |
