Kai's verdictA-tier. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month.A-tier. S-tier if you self-host. The reason open-source image gen matters.S-tier for academic research. Nothing else comes close for systematic reviews.S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day.
