|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CEntry is $15 a month whether you pay monthly or yearly, for 8,000 credits: about 114 Nano Banana 2 images or 26 UGC videos. That's just past this category's dearer quarter, and Entry covers selected models only, for personal use. | BAI Beginner is $7.49 a month on monthly billing for 100 credits, inside this category's cheaper quarter, and annual billing usually saves 40%. That opens every image model, basic video models, 3 saved characters and no ads. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan and no trial on the pricing page, so the first look costs $15. | B5 credits to claim every day, plus more from streaks, badges and the Daily Challenge. That's more in a month than AI Beginner's 100, though they run in the slower Relax mode, one image at a time. |
| Features | BImages and video on Nano Banana, Seedream, FLUX 3, Veo and Kling, plus music, speech and sound effects, upscaling up to 16K, background tools, team spaces and reusable Elements. The whole job is covered. | C50+ image models, video with sound, unlimited base generations from Hobbyist up, saved characters and community challenges. But the listing names no editing tools, and unlimited covers only plain text-to-image jobs on chosen models. |
| Ease of use | CNo app-store rating on record. Auto mode picks a model for you, which helps, but team spaces, Elements and per-model credit costs take some learning. | CNo app-store rating on record. Fast credits, Relax credits, earned credits and unlimited models all work differently, so there's a fair bit to learn about what costs what. |
| Platforms and integrations | CA web app only, with no phone app and no integrations in the listing. There's an API, but it's a separate product with its own pricing. | CWeb only. There are no native apps: on iPhone or Android you add the website to your home screen. No integrations or API in the listing. |

Worth knowing

- The API is a separate product with its own pricing; subscriptions do not include API credits.
NightCafe
- There are no native apps; on Android and iOS you install the website as a web app.
- Free earned credits run in Relax mode, one creation and one image at a time, and some expensive models need Fast Credits.
