| Kai's verdict | A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs. | A-tier for data teams. S-tier if you already live in SQL + Python. | B-tier. Solid for autocomplete but the category moved past it. Pick Cursor unless you can't. | S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews. |
