Pricing	Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans	Free for individuals + $15-$29/user/mo teams	Credit-based, free trial	Free + included with Creative Cloud

Weaknesses	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Bot-joining model Team features gated	UX is rough for English speakers Queue times	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Tied to Adobe subscription
Kai's verdict	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down.	A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.
