| Kai's verdict | A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use. | S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews. | A-tier. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. |
