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
Leonardo.Ai
- Custom model training included in paid tiers (up to 50 models/month on Ultimate).
- Relaxed generation allows unlimited image/video generation on select models after tokens run out.
- Team plans share tokens and include team management and private generations.
- Token limits and rollover caps (e.g. 180,000 max bank) may constrain heavy users.
- Free tier creations are public and cannot be private.
- Pay-as-you-go API pricing and limits are not clearly detailed on the pricing page.
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 who want detailed control over image and video generation and flexible token plans. It offers custom model training, relaxed generation, and team pooling, but token limits and rollover caps may frustrate heavy users. If you need unlimited, flat-rate generation, consider Midjourney instead.
