| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. |
