| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously. |
