| Kai's verdict | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | B-tier for individuals — Claude does this for less. A-tier for teams needing brand consistency. | 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. |
