Category	coding	audio	dev platform	dev platform
Pricing	Free (limited) + $10/mo Pro + $19/mo Business	Free + $10/mo + $30/mo	Pay per token — model-dependent	Pay per second of compute
Best for	Teams with GitHub already. Devs who don't want to change IDEs.	Jingles, intros, demos, sketches, personal use.	Developers experimenting across models. Apps that want fallback logic.	Developers using open-source models (Flux, SDXL, Whisper, etc).
Strengths	Great enterprise story Works in your existing IDE Chat + autocomplete	Real songs with real lyrics v4 is very good Quick turnaround	300+ models from one endpoint Automatic fallbacks between providers No subscription — just pay what you use	Tens of thousands of models (image, video, audio, LLMs) One-line API for any model Cog framework for custom model deploy
Weaknesses	Less agentic than Cursor/Claude Code Model quality varies	Copyright gray zone Audio quality behind studio	Slight markup over direct API Some provider features not exposed	Cold starts on less-popular models Pricing gets real at scale
Kai's verdict	B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't.	S-tier in its category. The first AI music tool I'd actually listen to.	S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.	S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.
