| Kai's verdict | B-tier. Solid product but crowded market. Try it if Notion AI feels too generic. | S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art. | S-tier for price/performance. A-tier for consumer use. If you build apps, this is the budget pick. | S-tier. Market leader with reason. Start here for serious video. |
