Kai's verdictS-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick.B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.
