| Kai's verdict | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. | A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards. | A-tier. Beautiful UX. The writing app I'd pick if I only wrote long-form. |
