Weaknesses	Can feel overwhelming for non-coders Expensive at scale	Not for full songs with vocals Shorter generation limits	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Tied to Adobe subscription	Niche use case Pricing ramps fast
Kai's verdict	S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.	A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	A-tier in its niche. The only one that actually gets emotion right.
