Which one is for you
Pick Dzine if
- Fits if you want to try several image and video models without separate accounts
- Works for teams that need a shared canvas and asset library
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you want free use, as 100 credits are a one-off and the daily refill is gone
- Watch out: Beginner's 1,000 credits are about 500 low-quality images or 5 Seedance 2.5 videos, with no rollover
- Watch out: top-up credits ($10 for 2,000) are for Creator and above only
- Watch out: unlimited images on Master plans are under a fair usage policy
Pick Krea if
- Fits if you want many image and video models for $5.25 a month on yearly billing
- Works for people in Photoshop, Premiere, Resolve or Blender who want it inside those apps
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you want Veo, Sora or Kling, which need Pro at $21 a month yearly ($35 monthly)
- Not for you if you want unused units to roll over, which only Business and Enterprise do
- Skip it if you want to make video free, as the free plan runs no video jobs, and 100 units a day is about one Nano Banana 2 image
- Watch out: once units run out, the slower unlimited queue covers in-house image models only
- Not for you if you're on Android or want a desktop app, and SSO, an SLA and IP indemnification are Enterprise only
How we grade them
| 2.4GPADzineFair | 2.8GPAKreaGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BBeginner is $7 a month billed yearly ($8.99 monthly), inside the cheaper quarter of image tools ($8) but not under $4.80. Creator is $20 and Master $50. | ABasic is $5.25 a month on yearly billing ($9 monthly) for 5,000 units, under 60% of this category's cheaper quarter. That's about 64 Nano Banana 2 images or 20 Seedance 2.0 videos a month, plus upscaling to 22K. Veo and Kling need Pro at $21. |
| Free plan and trial | CNew accounts get 100 credits valid for 12 months, with no card mentioned. The daily refill of 32 credits is gone, and there is no free plan. | C100 units a day, refilled daily, with the live canvas, image and 3D models, LoRA training on 50 images and 2K upscaling. Video is off, though, and Basic's own figures put a Nano Banana 2 image at about 78 units. |
| Features | BMany models, text and image to video, multi-character lip sync, editing tools, stored characters and styles, and team workspaces. Nothing in the listing is missing from the job. | BIts own models plus Nano Banana, Seedance, Veo and Kling, a canvas that renders as you draw, editing, upscaling to 22K, LoRA training, a node editor, an agent, and plugins for Photoshop, Premiere, Resolve and Blender. Nothing core is missing. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. Credits cost different amounts per model, and characters and styles take setting up. | C4.49 from 689 App Store ratings, just under the 4.5 line. And with nodes, LoRAs, an agent and dozens of models, there's a fair bit to learn. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only. The listing names no desktop or phone app, and teams are sold per seat. | BWeb and iPhone, plus plugins for Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Blender, an API and an MCP server. No Android or desktop app of its own. |

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.
