Kai's verdictS-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.A-tier. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.
