Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python.B-tier overall, A-tier if GDPR/data residency matters. Solid backup option.
