| Kai's verdict | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | A-tier for designer-led sites. S-tier if animations matter. | S-tier for study. The Audio Overview is a killer feature. Try it with three of your favorite PDFs. |
