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

Recraft

Pros

  • Generates editable SVG vectors on every plan, including Free
  • Custom styles and color palettes keep output consistent with a brand
  • Single workspace for generation, vector editing, upscaling, background removal and mockups
  • Gives access to external models such as Flux, GPT Image, Imagen and Nano Banana
  • Paid plans include private images and full commercial rights
  • Apps for iOS and Android, Figma and other plugins, and a public API and MCP server

Cons

  • Free plan images are public and not licensed for commercial use
  • Monthly credits expire each cycle, and costs per image vary by model (for example 2 credits for V4.1 and 10 for V4.1 Pro)
  • Video generation is not available on Free or Basic plans
  • Plan prices depend on credit tier, so cost rises quickly for heavy use
