| Kai's verdict | S-tier for model-shopping. I use this for every prototype before committing. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | B-tier. Still early. Manus is more flexible for less money. |
