Kai's verdictA-tier. Best free agentic option in VS Code. Use with Claude for best results.A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.
