Kai's verdictS-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.A-tier. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month.
