Pricing	Pay per token — model-dependent	Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans	Free + $12-$60/mo	Free + included with Creative Cloud
Best for	Developers experimenting across models. Apps that want fallback logic.	Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs.	Indie game devs, illustrators, anyone training custom style models.	Anyone in Creative Cloud. Brands that need copyright clarity.
Strengths	300+ models from one endpoint Automatic fallbacks between providers No subscription — just pay what you use	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks	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
Weaknesses	Slight markup over direct API Some provider features not exposed	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	General output behind Midjourney Can be overwhelming	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Tied to Adobe subscription
Kai's verdict	S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	A-tier for creators training custom looks. B-tier for general use.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.
