What our research says

Adobe Firefly

Pick Firefly when the indemnity and the Creative Cloud integration matter more than raw image quality, because on quality alone it trails Midjourney and the frontier models.

Pros

Trained on licensed and public-domain material with enterprise indemnity attached
Generative Fill inside Photoshop beats round-tripping through another tool
Produces editable vectors rather than only raster images
Standard image and vector generation is uncapped on paid plans

Cons

Image quality lags the top standalone generators
Generative credits drain fast on video and premium partner models
Pricing is split confusingly between standalone plans and Creative Cloud bundles
Free tier watermarks output and allows very few credits

Visuali

The canvas is the point: generating, masking, outpainting and arranging in one surface avoids the round trip between a generator and a separate editor, and the agent handles repetitive variants from a single brief. Model coverage is broad and every plan gets all of it, so you are only buying tokens. The cost model is what to watch, because tokens buy generations rather than time and heavy iteration burns them fast.

Pros

Generation, inpainting, outpainting, layers and layout on one infinite canvas
All models available on every paid tier, including GPT Image, Flux and Stable Diffusion
Agent produces bulk variants from a single written brief
Transparent-background and high-resolution export
Installs from the browser to phone, tablet and desktop

Cons

No permanent free tier, only a 7-day trial
Token metering makes heavy iteration hard to budget
No API for pipeline integration
Small Norwegian vendor with a short public track record
