	Stable Audio A	Recraft S	Claude Code S	Kling A
Tagline	Stability AI's open audio model. Loops + SFX + background.	Vector + raster AI for designers. Actually controls the output.	Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly.	Kuaishou's video model. The surprise standout.
Category	Audio	Image	Coding	Video
Pricing	Free + $12/mo Pro + enterprise	Free + $12-$48/mo	Part of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans	Credit-based, free trial
Best for	Game developers, podcasters needing SFX, video creators needing background music.	Designers, brand teams, anyone needing vector output or tight style control.	Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs.	Anyone who wants top-tier video quality for less.
Strengths	Open-weight model available Great for loops + game audio + SFX Commercial-use clarity	Exports SVG vectors — rare in AI image gen Strong style control + consistency Brand kit for consistent outputs	Runs locally, edits your actual files Strong on large codebases with 1M context Great at multi-step tasks	Very strong motion + physics Often beats Runway on realism Great price
Weaknesses	Not for full songs with vocals Shorter generation limits	Less hyped than Midjourney Learning curve for non-designers	Terminal-based — learning curve Can't be used without Claude subscription	UX is rough for English speakers Queue times
Kai's verdict	A-tier for its niche. Different use case than Suno — SFX and loops, not songs.	S-tier for designers. The only one that takes vectors seriously.	S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.	A-tier. Rising fast. If you can tolerate the UX, quality per dollar is best-in-class.
