| Kai's verdict | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. | A-tier if you already pay Gemini. B-tier standalone. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
