| Kai's verdict | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. |
