| Kai's verdict | A-tier. The strongest 'no-code' AI builder right now. Great for founder MVPs. | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. | S-tier for content creators. Cuts editing time in half. Non-obvious but life-changing. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
