How we grade them
| 3.0GPAMagnificVery good | 2.4GPAOpenArtFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | CStarter is $13 a month on yearly billing ($14 monthly) for 4,000 credits, up to about 4,000 images or 50 videos. That's the middle of this category, but Starter has no commercial use rights, which start at Plus for $27. |
| 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. | CFree credits when you sign up, with no card needed. It's a taste rather than a plan, as there's no free tier after that. |
| 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. | B100+ image, video and audio models on one balance, consistent characters, Director for multi-scene films and ads, motion control, relighting, editing and upscaling. The whole job, with stories as its strength. |
| 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. | CNo app-store rating on record. With 100+ models, characters, personal models and Director, there's a lot to learn before a multi-scene video comes out right. |
| 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 only, with no phone app, but it reaches Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor through MCP and a CLI, and After Effects through a plugin. No public API. |
| Best for | stock assets and AI generation in one plan | story videos with recurring characters |
