| Kai's verdict | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
