| Kai's verdict | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | S-tier for multilingual video. If you sell courses or speak at events, this is a cheat code. | B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately. |
