| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | S-tier for conversation. A-tier for TTS. Complement to ElevenLabs, not replacement. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. |
