| Kai's verdict | A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros. |
