| Kai's verdict | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | A-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right. | A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use. |
