| 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. | A-tier. Best of a boring category. Use it for first drafts, then edit in Keynote if high-stakes. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. |
