| 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. Bet on this one — the Sparkpage format is genuinely new. | S-tier. Category-defining UX. If you take notes in meetings, switch this week. |
