| Kai's verdict | S-tier for solo + free. The best free option, hands down. | A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
