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

ImgAuth

Pros

  • Focused on two clear tasks, document tampering and AI-generated image detection
  • Heatmaps and suspicious-region outputs give reviewers something to check, instead of a bare score
  • Free 3-credit trial with no card, and cancellation at any time with access until period end
  • REST API for higher-volume and team workflows
  • Candid limitations: outputs are described as review signals, with explicit scope boundaries

Cons

  • No published accuracy figures or independent benchmarks
  • Not a deepfake, face-swap, liveness or identity tool, and the site's wording on face-swap detection is inconsistent
  • 10 MB file limit and no free ongoing tier after the 3 trial credits
  • Mobile app is only announced, with an outdated launch estimate (Q2 2025) on the site
  • Operating company is named only as ImgAuth Ltd, with no team or founding details published
