| Kai's verdict | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. |
