Pros and cons

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
  • Apps for iOS and Android, plus a pay-as-you-go API

Cons

  • Free generations are public and the daily allowance is small
  • Token costs vary by model and settings, so spend is hard to predict
  • Unlimited relaxed video generation needs the $60 Ultimate plan
  • Official pricing page blocks automated access, so plan details need checking on the site

Tavus

Pros

  • Full real-time video agent stack (rendering, turn-taking, perception) from one vendor.
  • Both a developer API and a no-code PAL Maker are available.
  • Free tier with 20 CVI minutes per month for prototyping.

  • Pricing page showed conflicting plan tables, which makes costs hard to verify.
  • No publicly released iOS or Android app was found.
