Leonardo.Ai
Image, video and 3D generator with its own and partner models
Which one is for you
Pick Astria if
- Fits if you sell fashion, beauty or jewelry and want on-model product images
- Works for developers who would fine-tune on a set of pictures through an API
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need to see prices first, since none were readable
- Watch out: credits must be used within one year of purchase or they expire
- Watch out: a fine-tune and its images are deleted after 1 month unless you delete them sooner
- Watch out: the terms let Astria train and evaluate its models on inputs and outputs, with conditions
Pick Leonardo.Ai if
- Fits if you want images, short video and 3D models under one account
- Works for people who finish designs in Canva and want images sent there
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want everything unlimited, as the slow queue covers selected Leonardo models only and partner models always cost tokens
- Tight if you might cancel, since rollover tokens are lost when you do; Teams plans need 3 seats and sell no top-ups
- Pricey if you buy on iPhone, where the plans run $15.99 to $79.99
- Watch out: the web prices come from a third-party summary of June 5, 2026, as Leonardo's own page turned our reader away
- Skip it if you want private images for free, as free-plan images are visible to all Leonardo users
How we grade them
| 1.8GPAAstriaWeak | 3.0GPALeonardo.AiVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is on record because the pricing page was behind a bot check, so there is nothing to set against the $10 middle for image tools. Credits expire after one year. | CEssential is $12 a month, billed monthly, for 8,500 tokens, private images and a rollover bank of up to 25,500. That's the middle of this category. The figure is from a third-party summary, as Leonardo's page turned our reader away, and the iPhone app sells plans from $15.99. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan or trial is on record; the pricing page was behind a bot check, so one may exist that we could not see. | B150 tokens every day that reset rather than pile up, which adds up to over half of what Essential gives in a month. Free images are public but can still be used commercially. You get fewer video models, though. |
| Features | CProduct photoshoots, lookbook templates, a headshot workflow, a fine-tuning API and a Photoshop plugin. A fine-tune and its images are deleted after a month unless you delete them first. | BIts own Lucid and Phoenix models next to FLUX, GPT Image, Veo and Kling, video with start and end frames, 3D models from an image, an editor with inpainting and a live sketch canvas, and send-to-Canva. The whole job, images to video to 3D. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. Templates, references and fine-tuning all have to be learned, and credits need working out. | A4.83 from about 11,100 App Store ratings, the top band. Each model shows its token cost before you generate. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb app with a Photoshop plugin, CLI, MCP, an API and connections to ChatGPT and Claude. No phone or desktop app is listed. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with an API and one-click hand-off to Canva. No desktop app, which an A needs. |
| Best for | AI product photos and lookbooks | images, video and 3D in one app |

- The terms say credits must be used within one year of purchase or they expire.
- The documentation says a fine-tune and its images are deleted after 1 month unless you delete them sooner.
- The terms let Astria train and evaluate its models on inputs and outputs, subject to conditions described there.
Leonardo.Ai
- Web prices come from a third-party summary of June 5, 2026, as Leonardo's pricing page turned away our reader. The iOS app sells the plans for $15.99 to $79.99.

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.
