Pick Logo Diffusion if

Pick Recraft if
- Fits if you need icons and logos as SVGs you can edit
- Works for Figma and Framer users who want it inside the design tool
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to sell what you make on the free plan, as free images are public, belong to Recraft and can't be used commercially
- Not for you if video's the point, since Basic covers images only and video starts at Pro for $16
- Tight if your team wants to pool credits, as Teams credits are per seat, with a 2-seat minimum
- Watch out: monthly credits don't roll over, and top-ups at $2 per 200 are sold only on paid plans
- Tight if you stay free: 3 uploads a day, 2 images per prompt and Recraft's own models only

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.
