Kai's verdictA-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
