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. - **Value for money: B.** Starter 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. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan or trial is listed on the pricing page we read, and the listing could not confirm one. - **Features: C.** Image 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. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. Credits, a Composer and a Splicer mean a bit to learn before you know what a credit buys. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with Google Drive sync on Pro. No API, desktop or phone app is listed. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Artbreeder's own pages on 12 November 2026.

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. - You could not: An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
