Its pricing page lists Pro and Ultra plans with monthly credits for models such as Nano Banana Pro and Seedance, and it also publishes mobile apps and an MCP integration.

The report card
Best for an editing and design site with AI generation added
Picsart combines editing, templates, stock and AI image and video generation with monthly credits. Dollar prices weren't confirmed, and unlimited image generation covers only one model.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | The page showed another currency and the US App Store uses older plan names, so no dollar price is on record. |
| Free plan and trial | F | The listing records no free plan or trial. |
| Features | B | AI images and video, editing tools, templates and stock, plus agents and developer access. |
| Ease of use | C | A large site with many tools, templates and credits. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Mac, plus an MCP integration. No Android listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Picsart is for

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Picsart 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: 60 of the 89 other AI image and video generators grade higher.
What you could make
- Templates: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make.
- A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make.
- A video editor.
- Apps for macOS and iOS that stay in step with each other.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Picsart’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.
