Kai's verdict	A-tier. Genuinely different vibe from Suno — worth trying both for a month.	S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.	S-tier inside Photoshop (Generative Fill). B-tier standalone.	S-tier for text-in-image. Use this for posters, Midjourney for art.
