| 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. Great price/performance. Go here if ElevenLabs is too expensive. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. |
