Free tier is genuinely useful — unlimited basic autocomplete (Codeium legacy) Cascade agent rivals Cursor Composer for multi-file changes + autonomous coding Cursor still ahead on AI-first UX polish + community velocity

Editor's verdict

If you can only try one this quarter, make it ChatGPT.

The top three are within four points of each other on the rubric — meaning the right choice depends more on your use case than on the absolute score. Use the table or the side-by-side compare to sanity-check.
