Which one is for you
Pick Adobe Firefly if
- Fits if you already work in Photoshop or Premiere and want the credits to work there too
- Works for commercial work where you care where the training data came from
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want leftover credits to carry over, since they reset each month
- Skip it if you need partner-model output covered, as Adobe's assurance is for its own models and IP indemnity is enterprise only
- Tight if video is the main job, as Standard stops at about 20 five-second clips
- Watch out: team plans cost the same per license but need an annual commitment
- Skip it if you want an iPad app or a Firefly desktop app, as the iOS app is iPhone only
Pick Lovart if
- Fits if you want brand images and short videos made from a written brief
- Works for a solo designer or marketer, as accounts are for one person
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a price to count on: Pro and Ultimate are first-year discounts of 50% and 45%
- Tight if you stay free: sign-up credits, with the amount not shown
- Watch out: monthly credits do not roll over, and unlimited relaxed generations are a one-time perk
- Watch out: Starter allows 2 delegated tasks a day, and the Team plan has no published price

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
