| Pros | - Benchmark aesthetic quality even with simple prompts.
- Real personalisation with --p (refined in V8.2) and style references with --sref.
- Turns images into 5-second videos extendable to about 21.
- Draft mode, built-in editor and a huge Explore gallery to learn from.
| - Everything in one place: templates, images, copy, video, resizing and publishing.
- Very easy to use, even with no design experience.

- AI even on the free plan; eligible schools and non-profits get premium features free.
|
|---|
| Cons | - No free plan: at least $10 a month.
- Images public by default; privacy only on Pro and Mega.
- Learning curve (best in English and with parameters) and fast hours that run out quickly with video.
| - Short, variable AI allowances; the AI Pass add-on only shows its price at checkout.
- Image quality below the specialists.
- Results are not very unique and the text writer is basic.
|
|---|
| Use cases | - Illustrators, art directors and designers who need concepts and moodboards; creators looking for polished covers or thumbnails; game, film and advertising studios in pre-production.
- Rate images to build your personalisation profile and add --p to your prompts. Explore in Draft mode first (cheaper and faster) and render at full quality only the winning version.
| - Freelancers, small businesses and associations creating social content without a designer; teachers and students; marketing teams producing lots of on-brand pieces.
- Fill in your Brand Kit first (logo, colours, fonts) so the AI applies your brand to everything. On paid plans, use the Standard tier for drafts and save Premium or Ultra for the final version.
