Draw Things generates images on your own iPhone, iPad or Mac, offline, with an infinite canvas and local LoRA training. The free edition runs on your own device, but it is Apple devices only and the cloud limits are not published. - **Value for money: A.** The Free Edition is free and runs on your own device, which counts as free and substantial. Draw Things+ is $8.99 a month for more cloud compute. - **Free plan and trial: A.** Local generation, model downloads, the canvas and LoRA training are free. A free Community account adds cloud compute, though its limits are not published. - **Features: B.** On-device generation, an infinite canvas, image to video, local LoRA training and optional cloud compute. Nothing in the core job is missing. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You download models and tune generation settings yourself, which takes learning. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** iPhone, iPad and Mac only. No Windows, Android or browser version is listed.

It costs $107.88 a year. - You could not: An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. - You could not: A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make. - You could not: Apps for macOS and iOS that stay in step with each other. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
