| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | S-tier for builders. The right primitives. What Kai is built on under the hood. | B-tier for individuals — Claude does this for less. A-tier for teams needing brand consistency. |
