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. - **Value for money: B.** One $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. - **Free plan and trial: C.** Free trial credits, no card needed, but the amount isn't stated and those images aren't kept private. - **Features: C.** Consistent styles, fine-tuning, PNG export and editing tools. SVG export covers only Flat, Ink Drawing, Doodle and custom styles. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You pick or train a style, then generate. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with a Figma plugin and an API. No desktop or phone app. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/ai-images ## Keep it, 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. - You could not: An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Figma among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
