Pros and cons
Editly
- Auto-refund on failed generations protects credits, a specific policy not universal among credit-based AI tools
- One-time credit packs (valid 365 days) let infrequent users pay without committing to a monthly subscription
- All paid tiers include commercial use rights and watermark-free downloads, with no upsell required for either
- No documented free tier with a fixed credit allowance; the homepage mentions a free trial but the pricing page specifies no credit amount, leaving new users uncertain about what they can actually test before paying
- Monthly credits reset and do not roll over, so a light month means lost value on the Starter and Pro plans
- Video generation is limited to short clips with no timeline editing, scene sequencing, or audio; users who need anything beyond a single generated clip must take the output to a separate editor
GenImageAI
- Accurate in-image text rendering and multilingual support, rare among image generators.
- Conversational, multi-turn editing with context memory and consistent style retention.
- Flexible credit pricing with annual plans offering up to 36,000 credits and 4K output.
- Credit system adds complexity - tracking costs per resolution and quality can be confusing.
- No free tier - requires paid subscription to continue after initial trial.
- Subscription tiers may be overkill for low-volume users who don’t need thousands of credits.
Our verdict
Editly verdict
Editly suits solo creators and small teams who want a single browser tab for both AI image and video generation without juggling separate tools. Its credit-reset model and auto-refund on failed jobs are genuinely user-friendly touches, but it lacks the depth of editing and community features that Leonardo.Ai offers at a comparable price. Anyone who needs advanced image editing, inpainting, or a large model library should look at Leonardo.Ai instead.

Best for creators and teams who need accurate in-image text, multilingual layouts, and iterative control via credits. It trades off simplicity. credit accounting and subscription tiers add complexity. If you only need occasional stylized images, a simpler flat-rate tool like Midjourney may suit you better.
