Kai's verdictS-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.A-tier. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month.S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.
