Pros and cons

Cinel AI

Pros

  • Wide model selection spanning OpenAI, Google, ByteDance, Kling, MiniMax, Alibaba and xAI models in one account
  • Credits never expire and are priced per generation, with the cost displayed before running
  • Free tier available, including some image generation without signing in
  • Includes editing tools (background remover, upscaler, uncrop) alongside generation
  • Published acceptable-use policy, moderation process and refund terms

Cons

  • No named legal entity or company details on the site; the Terms point to the checkout page for the provider
  • No public API or mobile app
  • Free outputs on free models are watermarked, and the "unlimited" claim applies only to specific free models
  • Premium models can be expensive in credits, for example Veo 3.1 Pro from 1,072 Gold against a 600 Gold Basic pack
  • Site copy is inconsistent in places, such as reference-image limits differing between the pricing page and the FAQ

Vivify

Pros

  • Images, video and live face swap share one credit balance
  • Credit packs never expire and subscription credits roll over for a month
  • Live Client works with OBS, Zoom, Teams, Meet and Discord on Windows and macOS
  • Cost in credits is shown before each generation
  • Paid plans include commercial use and no watermark

Cons

  • The site does not name the company, location or team behind it
  • Free access is limited to 12 signup credits and a short live preview
  • Live Face Swap uses credits quickly: the Basic plan covers about 17 minutes on XMAX or 3 minutes on Lucy per month
  • No iOS or Android app
  • Quality depends on third-party models that Vivify does not control
