| 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 data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | A-tier. Great price/performance. Go here if ElevenLabs is too expensive. |
