| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for realtime. If latency matters more than voice catalog, start here. | A-tier. Best for cinematic image-to-video. Pair with Runway for coverage. |
