How we grade them
| 2.2GPADream by WomboFair | 3.0GPALeonardo.AiVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CStandard is $8.33 a month billed yearly ($19.99 monthly), just above the $8 cheaper-quarter start for image tools. Pro is $16.67. | 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 | C5 daily credits, standard styles and watermarked exports. Enough for a few tries a day, not for steady use. | 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 | CStyle-based images, text and image to video up to 1080p, and HD exports without a watermark on paid plans. Video starts on Standard, and extended lengths on Pro. | 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 | BNo store rating on record. Type a prompt, pick a style and generate. | A4.83 from about 11,100 App Store ratings, the top band. Each model shows its token cost before you generate. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only. The listing names no integrations, API, phone or desktop app. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with an API and one-click hand-off to Canva. No desktop app, which an A needs. |
| Best for | quick styled AI art and short video | images, video and 3D in one app |

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.
