| 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. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month. | A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs. |
