Pros and cons

Lovart

Pros

  • Produces whole asset sets (logo, social, packaging, video) from a single brief rather than one image at a time.
  • Canvas lets users edit layers, text and layout after generation.
  • Brand Kits keep output consistent, with up to 100 kits on the top plan.
  • Free plan with daily credits allows testing before paying.
  • Combines several third-party models behind one interface.

Cons

  • Plan prices and credit amounts are not shown statically on the pricing page and vary between third-party sources.
  • Credits expire each cycle, and heavy video or batch work can drain them quickly.
  • Web only; no official mobile app or public API found.
  • Top tiers cost $90 and $199 per month, which is high for individuals.

Runway

Pros

  • Combines video, image and audio generation and editing in one workspace
  • Offers Runway's own Gen-4.5 plus third-party models such as Seedance 2.0
  • Creative Agent builds videos from a conversation
  • Runway Dev API with Node and Python SDKs
  • Free plan with 125 credits that do not expire
  • Native iOS and Android apps

Cons

  • Credit-based pricing: a 5-second Gen-4.5 clip costs 60 credits, so the 625 credits on Standard cover about 10 such clips
  • Standard and Pro credits do not roll over at the end of the month
  • Some App Store reviewers complain about the cost of failed or unusable generations
  • 4K upscaling is unlimited only on Pro and Max
