Workflow coverage and comparison notes

Self-hosted text-to-image generation instead of buying additional hosted image-generation capacity. Krea and Leonardo also offer free quotas. This is a local image workflow using separately licensed models, not access to the named proprietary models or all editing/video/realtime features.

Before you switch

Technical installation and suitable GPU hardware required; rented GPU hosting costs money. Each model has its own licence and commercial-use restrictions. Covers prompt-to-image generation, not proprietary model access, identical output quality, hosted collaboration, Krea realtime drawing or video features.

Alternatives to these paid apps

Each comparison covers the workflow described above, rather than every paid feature.
