| Kai's verdict | S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros. | S-tier for aesthetics. If you care how it looks more than how it's made, this wins. |
