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 Scenario if
- Fits if you make game art and want a model trained on your own style
- Works for studios that need an API and private workspaces for asset pipelines
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to sell what you make while staying free, as free outputs are personal use only
- Tight if you run out of credits mid-month: they don't roll over and generation stops until the reset or an add-on
- Pricey if you need custom models, because training starts at Pro, $45 a month
- Not for you if you work alone and need collaboration, since Starter is a single-user workspace and 25 seats start at Max, $75
- Watch out: yearly prices are behind a toggle, so what you'd pay by the year isn't on the listing
How we grade them
| 1.8GPAAstriaWeak | 2.6GPAScenarioGood | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | C$15 a month on Starter for 1,500 credits, which is the top of the $8 to $15 range most image tools charge. Pro is $45 and Max $75. The page says yearly billing is 33% cheaper, but those figures sit behind a toggle. |
| 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. | B50 free credits every day, no card needed, with every model open to try. The catch is that free outputs are for personal use only, and paid plans carry the commercial licence. |

Training your own model takes 10 to 30 images and anything from 30 minutes to a few hours, so there's a learning curve before the output matches your style. |

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.
