| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs. | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. |
