Pros and cons

Adobe Firefly

Pros

  • Adobe states its own models are trained on licensed and public domain content
  • Generative Fill and Expand work inside Photoshop, and vector generation connects to Illustrator
  • One workspace for Adobe models and 30+ partner models across image, video and audio
  • Free tier needs no plan, and credits are shared across web, mobile and desktop apps
  • Enterprise IP indemnification is available for select outputs

Cons

  • Premium features use credits that reset monthly and do not roll over
  • Partner model outputs follow the partner's terms, not Adobe's own training-data approach
  • Free tier limits are daily and no credit count is published
  • Reviewers note text in images and faces or complex anatomy can look distorted, and artistic range is seen as behind Midjourney

AI Image Cleaner

Pros

  • Starts free: you can upload and paint without an account, and sign-in gives 6 credits for about 3 cleans
  • Brush masking gives precise control over thin items such as wires and partial people
  • Pay-as-you-go credit packs ($8 to $45) never expire, so no subscription is required
  • Failed jobs refund credits, and a 7-day first-subscription refund policy is published
  • Privacy policy states uploads are not sold or used to train third-party models, with about 30-day retention for signed-in history

Cons

  • The free allowance is a one-time 6 credits, with no recurring free credits
  • Generation requires a Google account; no other sign-in method was found
  • Web only, with no mobile app, API or batch processing
  • Very large masks that cover most of the frame leave little context for a natural fill, per the site's own FAQ
  • Operator is an individual or sole trader ("AI Image Cleaner Editorial") with no disclosed address or company details
