| Tagline | Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly. | The aesthetic gold standard for AI image generation. | Commercially safe image gen, deeply integrated with Photoshop. | The one that actually gets text in images right. |

| Pricing | Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans | $10-$120/mo | Free + included with Creative Cloud | Free + $8/mo + $20/mo + $60/mo |
| Best for | Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs. | Anyone who wants beautiful images without thinking about prompts. | Anyone in Creative Cloud. Brands that need copyright clarity. | Anything with text — posters, ads, album covers, slide decks. |

| Kai's verdict | S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement. | S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
