| Kai's verdict | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs. | A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters. |
