ThinkDiffusion rents you a cloud machine that runs open-source image apps such as ComfyUI, Automatic1111 and Kohya, billed by the hour from $0.99, or via a subscription that adds credit and discounts. The only free allowance is 15 minutes at sign-up. You're expected to know the apps. - **Value for money: C.** TD-Pro is $19.99 a month billed yearly, inside the dearer quarter of AI image tools, but machine time is billed by the hour on top, from $0.99, with only 20% off. - **Free plan and trial: D.** A one-time 15 minutes of machine time at sign-up. Hobby storage lasts 48 hours. - **Features: C.** Dedicated machines running several open-source apps, your own models, team workspaces and training. It's a rented computer, not a finished tool. - **Ease of use: D.** No rating on record. You work inside tools like ComfyUI and Kohya, which takes learning. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web access to a cloud machine, with Civitai and Hugging Face links. No apps and no API listed.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/ai-images ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace ThinkDiffusion 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: 155 of the 168 other AI image and video generators grade higher. It costs $239.88 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: People on the other end: coaches. No app builder makes those. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## Works with Civitai, Hugging Face **Tags:** Image generation, Video generation ## Alternatives - [RunDiffusion](https://toolgpa.com/tools/rundiffusion): Cloud platform running ComfyUI, Auto1111 and premium AI models.
