Kai's verdictA-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.
