| 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. | A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. |
