Kai's verdictS-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.A-tier. Close second to Cursor. If $5/mo matters, start here.B-tier standalone, A-tier value if you already pay ChatGPT. Don't pay for it separately.A-tier. The most interesting spreadsheet in years. Great for ops dashboards.
