Pros and cons
From each tool's full review, written from the same checked facts.
Krea
- Krea's free plan gives 100 compute units a day with no credit card required, full access to the real time image models.
- It includes current third party models: Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0, Nano Banana Pro, GPT-IMG-2 and Flux 2.
- Pro and up plans include unlimited relaxed generation on the Krea 2 image family once your compute units run out.
- Krea Nodes lets you chain models and processing steps into a visual workflow, with a Nodes Agent that can build it from a plain language request.
- Business and Enterprise plans cover up to 50 seats at one flat price rather than a per seat charge.
- Krea is SOC 2 compliant and states GDPR compliance.
- Video clips can be extended past their initial length with an additional generation.
- The free plan cannot generate video at all; video concurrency is set to zero.
- The free plan has no commercial license, so free output is not cleared for commercial use.
- Whether Krea's standard terms allow training on your content is not clearly stated; a no-training clause is sold separately as a Business add-on.
- Only Krea's own image models get unlimited relaxed generation; every other company's model always spends credits.
- SAML SSO is limited to Business and Enterprise plans.
- Max and Business list a default credit allowance, but the real price and credits scale with a usage slider, so the sticker price alone doesn't fix what you'll pay.
