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.
What is Editly?
Editly is a web-based AI creation platform that generates images and short video clips from text prompts or reference images. It brings together multiple AI models, including GPT Image, Seedream, Nano, Hailuo, and Seedance, under a single credit-based account, so users can switch between image and video generation without managing separate services.
Paid plans remove watermarks, include commercial usage rights, and place jobs in a priority generation queue. Credits are allocated monthly on subscription plans or purchased as one-time packs valid for 365 days. The platform targets individual creators, marketers, and small teams who produce content for social media, advertising, and digital products.
How we scored Editly
Capability lands at 16 because Editly covers both image and video generation with several named models (GPT Image, Seedream, Hailuo, Seedance), but it lacks the post-generation editing depth, inpainting, and community model library that Leonardo.Ai provides at a similar price, making it adequate but not leading. Ease of use scores 19 because the browser-only interface, single credit pool, and auto-refund policy reduce friction meaningfully for new users. Value scores 15 because the Starter plan at $15/month for 1,200 credits has no rollover, the free trial credit amount is unspecified, and one-time pack pricing is not publicly listed, leaving buyers with less clarity than competitors offer; the Max plan at $39/month is also priced above Midjourney's entry tier for users who only need images. Delivery scores 14 because no substantial independent review volume was found for editly.art, the free trial claim on the homepage is not backed by specifics on the pricing page, and the existence of a separate editly.studio product with different pricing creates genuine confusion about what a buyer is actually getting.
Pros and cons
What we liked
- 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
Where it falls short
- 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

Editly pricing
Three monthly subscription tiers: Starter at $15/month (or $12/month billed yearly) for 1,200 credits per cycle; Pro at $29/month (or $23/month yearly) for 3,000 credits; Max at $39/month (or $30/month yearly) for 4,500 credits.

| Plan | Price | Who it is for |

Who should use Editly?
Editly fits a solo content creator who publishes regularly to social media and wants both still images and short video clips without paying for two separate subscriptions. The Pro plan at $29/month (or $23/month yearly) gives 3,000 credits per cycle, which is a reasonable budget for someone generating a mix of images and clips each week. The auto-refund on failed generations removes a common frustration with credit-based tools, and the commercial use rights mean freelancers can hand deliverables to clients without a separate licensing conversation.
Anyone who needs serious post-generation control should look elsewhere. Leonardo.Ai offers a richer editing layer, a larger community of shared models, and more granular generation controls at a comparable price point, making it the better pick for designers and illustrators who treat generation as a starting point rather than a finished output.
Skip it if: Users needing advanced image editing, inpainting, or a large community of shared models

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free plan or free trial?+
The homepage mentions a free trial, but the pricing page does not specify a credit amount for it. No permanent free tier with a fixed monthly credit allowance is listed. New users should sign up to confirm what the trial actually includes before committing to a paid plan.
What happens to unused credits at the end of the month?+
On subscription plans, credits reset at the start of each new billing cycle and do not roll over. One-time credit pack purchases are different: those credits stay valid for 365 days from the purchase date.
Do I get credits back if a generation fails?+
Yes. Editly applies an automatic refund of credits when a generation job fails, across all paid plans.
Can I use generated images and videos commercially?+
All paid plans, both subscriptions and one-time credit packs, include commercial usage rights. Free trial outputs may differ; the pricing page does not clarify this for trial users.
What file formats does Editly export?+
Images export as PNG or JPG. Videos export as MP4.
Can I buy credits without a monthly subscription?+
Yes. One-time credit packs are available as a top-up at any time and are valid for 365 days. The pricing page does not list specific pack sizes or prices publicly.
