Kai's verdictS-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.A-tier. The right answer if you want open-source + terminal-native + model-agnostic.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.A-tier. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month.
