| Kai's verdict | S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space. | A-tier. HeyGen wins for creators, Synthesia wins for enterprise. | S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone. | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. |
