Image Gen · freemium

✓Generates at native 4K with no separate upscaling step, so text edges and fine detail survive
✓In-image text and typography are the design target rather than a known weak spot
✓Layout-first control over element placement suits posters, ad creative and UI mockups
✓Conversational editing removes the mask-and-re-prompt loop for iterative changes
✓Free daily energy allowance is enough to evaluate output quality without a card

×The typography advantage has narrowed through 2026 as GPT Image 2, FLUX.2 and Ideogram closed in
×Energy-based credits are harder to budget against than flat per-image pricing
×Weaker fit for painterly, illustrative or fine-art styles than Midjourney
×API access is billed on top of the subscription tiers and is documented less clearly than the consumer plans

Image Gen · freemium

✓Real-time canvas updates as you type or sketch, so iteration is far faster than prompt-and-wait generators
✓One compute-unit balance covers image, video, 3D, lipsync, upscaling and LoRA training instead of four separate subscriptions
✓Nodes and Apps turn a repeated edit chain into reusable automated workflows, with an AI agent that assembles the graph
✓Free tier is genuinely usable for evaluation: 100 compute units daily, Krea 2 access, full real-time models, no credit card
✓Publishes open-weight models (FLUX.1 Krea dev, Krea Realtime) rather than keeping the whole stack closed

×Pricing rose sharply — Pro is now $35/mo where it was around $10, and it is the first tier with access to all video models
×Compute units make monthly spend hard to predict; video generation and heavy upscaling drain a balance much faster than stills
×Key capabilities are tier-gated in ways that bite: Basic ($9) excludes most video models and all Nodes workflow automation
×As an aggregator, you depend on Krea to add each new third-party model, and per-tier access rules decide which ones you can actually reach
