Kai's verdictA-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.A-tier for real-time. B-tier for everything else. Worth checking when news breaks.A-tier for non-native English speakers. B-tier if your English is already strong — Claude does better with tone.
