Krea vs neural.love

Two fact sheets from our own research, side by side — pricing, platforms, API access and status re-checked by us rather than quoted from the vendors.

The short answer

Free plan: Both have one
Public API: Both have one
Best fit: Krea: Designers and concept artists who iterate visually on a canvas rather than through prompt rewrites · neural.love: Restoring, upscaling and colorizing archival photos and footage
Trust score: About even — Krea 91, neural.love 90
Status: Both up at our last check (Sep 6, 2026)

From our own records as of each tool's last check. Anything we have not confirmed is left out rather than guessed. How we verify

KreaCreative suite with a real-time canvas, image and video generation, upscaling and 3D across its own and third-party models

What our research says

Krea

Krea is the aggregator to pick when you want one subscription that covers image, video, upscaling and 3D instead of four, and the real-time canvas is still the fastest way to steer a composition by hand. The trade-off is that you are renting other people's models at a markup measured in compute units, so heavy video users should check the per-generation unit costs before trusting the headline price.

Pros

Real-time canvas renders in under 50 ms, which makes composition a direct-manipulation task
Own Krea 2 model plus a long list of third-party image and video models in one place
Free tier refills daily rather than once, so it stays usable for light work
Public API with an SDK and MCP server, and LoRA training from as few as 50 images

Cons

Compute units are an abstraction over very different model costs, so the monthly pool is hard to budget
Pro and Max units expire at month end and extra packs expire after 90 days
Visible prices and the page's structured data disagreed on the Max tier today
Video generation is unavailable on the free plan (video concurrency 0)

neural.love

Come here for restoration and upscaling of old material rather than for generation, which is where this team has been strong since its archival film work. For new image creation, Krea or Magnific will give you noticeably better output per credit spent.

Pros

Upscaling and colorization are the original specialty and still the strongest part
Single credit balance spans subscription allowance and one-off top-ups
Public API with reference documentation for automated pipelines
Free public-domain image library alongside the paid tools

Cons

Prices and credit rates are not readable without loading the app, which makes budgeting awkward
Generation quality sits behind current image-model front-runners
Credits are spent per job, so unsatisfying runs still cost you
Small team relative to competitors, so feature pace is uneven

Which one fits

Choose Krea if you need

Designers and concept artists who iterate visually on a canvas rather than through prompt rewrites
Small studios that want current image and video models under one bill without managing API keys
Anyone upscaling and cleaning up stills or short clips for print or social

Choose neural.love if you need

Restoring, upscaling and colorizing archival photos and footage
Cleaning up low-resolution assets before print or video use
Batch enhancement automated through the API
Users who want one credit pool spanning several media tasks
