| Tagline | OpenAI's video model. Long clips, cinematic quality. | One API, every model. Pay-as-you-go, no subscriptions. | Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly. | The one that actually gets text in images right. |
| Category | Video | Dev Platform | Coding | Image |
| Pricing | Included with ChatGPT Plus/Pro | Pay per token — model-dependent | Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans | Free + $8/mo + $20/mo + $60/mo |
| Best for | ChatGPT subscribers experimenting with cinematic shots. | Developers experimenting across models. Apps that want fallback logic. | Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs. | Anything with text — posters, ads, album covers, slide decks. |

| Kai's verdict | A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros. | 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. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. |
