|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPremium is $14.50 a month on yearly billing ($20 monthly), at this category's dearer quarter. A year's 240,000 credits arrive at once, about 3,200 Nano Banana 2 images, and unlimited downloads from 250 million stock files come with it. | 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 | CA free account gets 10 stock downloads a day, with attribution, for personal use. The pricing page states no free AI credits, so there's nothing on record for making images free. | 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 | AImage, video, audio and 3D generation on Nano Banana, Kling, Seedance and Veo, the Magnific upscaler, relighting, a video editor and Spaces for workflows. What rivals lack is 250 million stock photos, vectors, videos and PSDs in the same plan. | 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 | A4.72 from about 1,800 App Store ratings, in the top band. Everything runs on one credit balance, with a table of what each model costs. | A4.83 from about 11,100 App Store ratings, among the highest here. Each model shows its token cost before you generate, so the meter isn't a mystery. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with an API on paid plans, an MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT, and ComfyUI. No desktop app in the listing, which an A needs. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with an API and one-click hand-off to Canva. No desktop app, which an A needs. |

Worth knowing
Magnific
- Freepik now trades as Magnific; freepik.com and its pricing page redirect to magnific.com.
- Annual plans hand over a year's credits at once with no monthly resets; on monthly billing, unused credits do not roll over.
- Unlimited covers selected models only, and Nano Banana Pro and some GPT and Flux models move to credits on Premium+ and Business at the next renewal.
- Extra credits can be bought only on Premium+ and Pro and expire three years after purchase; the merchandise license is Pro only.
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.
- Unlimited generation starts only after tokens run out, in a slower queue, and covers selected Leonardo models only; other partner models always cost tokens.
- Top-up tokens need an active individual plan and are not sold on Teams plans; rollover tokens are lost if you cancel.
- Private generation needs a paid plan; free-plan images are visible to all Leonardo users.
