The verdict
Which one should you pick?
Flux
Pick it for
- Key art and concept frames where legible text in the image matters
- Environment plates and set-design variations at 2K or 4K, priced per megapixel
- Studios that want open weights and custom LoRAs running locally in ComfyUI
Stands out
- Open weights: FLUX.2 [dev] and the klein models can be downloaded, self-hosted and fine-tuned, with LoRA rights on the licensed tiers. Midjourney is closed.
- Pay per image with no subscription: FLUX.2 [klein] 4B from $0.014 per image, FLUX.2 [pro] from $0.03. Midjourney and Adobe Firefly sell monthly plans.
Watch out
- Video is new. FLUX 3 Video availability and FLUX 3 Image early access have been described differently across sources, and video pricing is not published
- Open-weights models are non-commercial by default, and commercial use needs a licence quoted by sales
Krea
Pick it for
- Pre-visualization: moodboards, look development and concept stills for a shoot
- Producers who want Seedance, Nano Banana and ChatGPT Image in one account instead of three subscriptions
- Motion designers generating short hero clips with a reference image and a generated soundtrack
Stands out
- One compute balance covers Krea's own models plus third-party image and video models (Seedance 2.5, Nano Banana Pro, ChatGPT Image 2, Kling, Topaz), so you do not need a separate subscription per model.
- Canvas, node workflows and the Krea Agent sit in the same product, so a brief can be run as a chat or built as a visual graph.
Watch out
- Compute units are opaque: per-model costs are not published, so budgeting video is guesswork
- Native video is capped at 720p for Seedance 2.5; 1080p and 4K need Seedance 2.0
LetzAI
Pick it for
- Storyboards and animatics for pitch decks, shot by shot
- Testing one shot across several video models on the same board before committing credits
- Agency client review with preview links and comments
Stands out
- One workspace for storyboard, generation, shot-by-shot video animation and client previews, with no export step between tools
- Multi-model access in one subscription: 40 active base models on the models page, including Seedance 2.5, Kling V3, Veo 3.1, Flux and Nano Banana
Watch out
- Canvas and the assistant need a paid plan, and assistant chat draws from the credit balance
- Credits are non-refundable and generation prices can change without notice
