Weaknesses	Not for full songs with vocals Shorter generation limits	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Less style variety	Aesthetic ceiling below Midjourney Tied to Adobe subscription	Cold starts on less-popular models Pricing gets real at scale
Kai's verdict	A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.	S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.
