| 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. | B-tier. Granola is better UX but Otter works everywhere. Pick based on your platform. | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. |
