Best for illustrations in one consistent style
ILUS AI makes illustrations in matching styles such as flat, doodle and ink, and lets you train your own from 10 to 20 examples. It sells one $25 pack of 500 credits, and training a style costs 150 of them. Images made on trial credits aren't private, and SVG export only works for some styles.
Who ILUS AI is for
- Fits if you need a set of illustrations that all match for a site or deck
- Works for people who'd rather buy credits once than keep a subscription
Who ILUS AI is not for
- Not for you if you want privacy on a trial, since images from free credits aren't kept private
- Tight if you want your own style: fine-tuning costs 150 of the 500 credits in the one pack
- Watch out: SVG export is only for Flat, Ink Drawing, Doodle and custom styles
- Watch out: the pricing section shows a single pack, so there's no bigger plan to move up to
Why ILUS AI gets a 2.2

- BValue for moneyOne $25 pack gets 500 credits that don't expire, well under a year of the $11.88 middle subscription. But it's a pack that runs out, and fine-tuning takes 150 credits.
- CFree plan and trialFree trial credits, no card needed, but the amount isn't stated and those images aren't kept private.
- CFeaturesConsistent styles, fine-tuning, PNG export and editing tools. SVG export covers only Flat, Ink Drawing, Doodle and custom styles.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You pick or train a style, then generate.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with a Figma plugin and an API. No desktop or phone app.

Keep ILUS AI, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace ILUS AI 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.
It costs $25, paid once.
What you could not
- An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make.
- It plugs into other products, Figma among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. ILUS AI’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.
