| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. |
