The verdict

Artbreeder wins, 7.3 to 6.1

Artbreeder's cheapest plan is $8.99 a month against Dream's $19.99, and every Artbreeder image is released as CC0, so you and anyone else can resell it. Dream generates video and ships a full iOS and Android app, both of which Artbreeder lacks. Artbreeder instead has a public gallery, challenges and image remixing built in, plus a daily free allowance like Dream's.

Pick Artbreeder if you want commercial rights built in and a community gallery.

Pick Dream if you want video generation and a native phone app.
