| Kai's verdict | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier. The Deep Research feature is genuinely useful. Don't sleep on it if you're already paying Google. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | A-tier. Best for fast prototypes. Competitive with Lovable — try both. |
