| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | A-tier. Best for fast prototypes. Competitive with Lovable — try both. | A-tier for social/casual. B-tier for serious work. Good entry point. |
