| Kai's verdict | S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. |
