Pros and cons

Adobe Firefly

Pros

  • Adobe states its own models are trained on licensed and public domain content

  • 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

Leonardo AI

Pros

  • Free plan with 150 tokens per day
  • Many first-party and third-party image and video models in one account
  • Personal model training on paid plans
  • AI Canvas for inpainting and outpainting

Cons

  • Free generations are public and the daily allowance is small

  • Unlimited relaxed video generation needs the $60 Ultimate plan
  • Official pricing page blocks automated access, so plan details need checking on the site
