The verdict
Which one should you pick?
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
Magnific
Pick it for
- Upscaling concept art and matte paintings to a 4K deliverable
- Lifting AI-generated stills to a larger size before a video pass
- Making archive stills usable at title-card or poster size
Stands out
- Creative and Precision modes in one tool: Creative invents texture and skin detail, Precision keeps text, logos and UI intact
- Upscales images from 2x to 16x and video to 1K, 2K or 4K, in the same subscription as generation models
Watch out
- No free tier on the pricing page; the cheapest paid plan is €16/month excl. VAT
- Upscale cost is in credits and not published per image or clip, which makes budgeting hard
