Pricing	Free + $12-$60/mo	Free + included with Creative Cloud	Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans	Pay per second of compute
Best for	Indie game devs, illustrators, anyone training custom style models.	Anyone in Creative Cloud. Brands that need copyright clarity.	Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs.	Developers using open-source models (Flux, SDXL, Whisper, etc).
Strengths	Train your own models on your style/character Great for game art + concept art Generous free tier	Trained on licensed content — commercially safe Generative Fill in Photoshop is incredible Native to Adobe ecosystem	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks	Tens of thousands of models (image, video, audio, LLMs) One-line API for any model Cog framework for custom model deploy
Weaknesses	General output behind Midjourney Can be overwhelming	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Tied to Adobe subscription	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	Cold starts on less-popular models Pricing gets real at scale
Kai's verdict	A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.
