| Kai's verdict | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | A-tier. Best for cinematic image-to-video. Pair with Runway for coverage. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
