Kai's verdictS-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 for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.
