How we grade them
| 2.4GPAHiggsfieldFair | 2.8GPAKreaGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo plan prices could be read: the pricing page builds its plans with JavaScript our reader couldn't load, and the help centre gives no figures. With no price on record, it's a C. | 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 | CA free tier lets you generate with a small set of models but includes no credits, and there's no trial of the paid plans. | 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 | BSoul image models with Soul ID to keep a face the same, Cinema Studio for multi-shot scenes with camera control, Marketing Studio for ads from a product link, a node Canvas, the Supercomputer agent and outside models like Veo and Kling. The whole 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 app-store rating on record. Several studios, a node canvas and an agent mean a lot of places to learn. | 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 | BWeb, with plugins for After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Resolve, Figma and Blender, and links to Claude and ChatGPT. No phone or desktop app of its own. | 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. |
| Best for | consistent characters and video ads | lots of models on a small budget |

Worth knowing
Higgsfield
- Plan prices could not be read: the pricing page builds its plan list with JavaScript, which our reader could not load, and the help center gives no figures.
- Unlimited model access on mid and top plans works only on higgsfield.ai; MCP, Canvas and Supercomputer always spend credits, and plan credits do not roll over.
- Refunds are given only within 7 days of a first purchase with no credits used, less a fee of up to 6%; renewals are not refunded.
- Team plans take 2 to 9 seats and Scale 5 to 15; SSO starts at Scale, and no-training terms only come with Enterprise.
Krea
- Units on Basic, Pro and Max reset monthly and do not roll over; only Business and Enterprise carry unused units forward.

- SAML SSO, an SLA and IP indemnification are limited to Enterprise.

- Marketing Studio
- Turns a product URL or image into a finished video ad in a UGC, unboxing, tutorial or TV-spot format, with audio and lip sync.
- Canvas

- Describe a job in plain language and the agent plans it, generates the assets and delivers them, including batch variations and simple websites.
- Plugins for editing apps
- Plugins for After Effects, Premiere Pro, Resolve, Photoshop, Figma and Blender generate clips into the timeline and reframe footage or remove its background.

- LoRA training
- Train custom image or video LoRAs on your own characters, styles or products: up to 50 images per LoRA, or 2,000 on Max and Business.
- Nodes and Krea Agent
- Chain models and steps in a visual node editor, save workflows as shareable apps, or brief Krea Agent to plan and iterate across models.
