Pros and cons

Dzine

Pros

  • Layer-based editing and auto-selection give more control than prompt-only generators.
  • Access to several third-party image and video models from one workspace.
  • Reusable characters support consistent visuals across a project.
  • Free account with 100 credits lets users try the tools before paying.
  • Public pay-as-you-go API for developers.

Cons

  • Free credits are a one-time 100 and expire after 12 months; the earlier daily refresh has been removed.
  • Video generation is credit-expensive, for example 37 credits for a 5-second Kling 2.1 STD clip.
  • Trustpilot reviewers report billing after trials, credits consumed by failed or cancelled jobs, and slow support.
  • Web only; no native desktop or confirmed mobile app.

Napkin AI

Pros

  • Permanent free plan with 500 weekly AI credits and unlimited PNG and PDF export.
  • Generates visuals from plain text with no prompt writing.
  • Every generated element stays editable, and editing is unlimited on all plans.
  • Imports PPT, DOC, PDF, HTML and Markdown files.
  • Paid plans start at $9 per user per month, with a 25% listed discount for annual billing.

Cons

  • Free-plan visuals carry Napkin branding, which limits client-facing use; branding is removed only on Plus and Pro.
  • PPT and SVG export are paid-only.
  • Visual generation is not yet available on mobile, and no official iOS or Android app was found.
  • Credits are consumed per word selected, so long texts use the free weekly allowance quickly.
