Best for blending and creating images with credits
Artbreeder is a browser tool for creating and blending images, sold as yearly credit packs from $7.49 a month. We found no free plan on its pricing page, credits come by the year rather than the month, and the monthly-billing prices were not readable.
Who Artbreeder is for
- Fits if you like mixing and tweaking images and can pay a year at a time
- Works for people who want an image tool without ads, on Pro
Who Artbreeder is not for
- Skip it if you want to try for free first, as none is listed
- Pricey if you need more credits, at $15.99 a month for 3,300 and $30.99 for 8,400 a year
- Watch out: credits are a yearly allotment, not a monthly one
- Watch out: the monthly-billing prices behind the Monthly toggle were not readable
Why Artbreeder gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyStarter is $7.49 a month for 1,200 credits a year, under the $8 that marks the cheaper quarter of image tools. It is billed yearly, so about $90 comes up front.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan or trial is listed on the pricing page we read, and the listing could not confirm one.
- CFeaturesImage creation in Composer, mixing in Splicer, Google Drive sync and higher-resolution downloads on Pro. The page says little else about what the tool covers.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. Credits, a Composer and a Splicer mean a bit to learn before you know what a credit buys.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with Google Drive sync on Pro. No API, desktop or phone app is listed.

Keep Artbreeder, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Artbreeder you would be making an image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 74 of the 89 other AI image and video generators grade higher. It costs $89.88 a year.
What you could not
- An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Artbreeder’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
