Krea vs Visuali

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)

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
