# Editly Review Credit-based AI image and video generator with multiple models, no watermark on paid plans, and commercial use included. ## Editor's Score: 64/100 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 - 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 ## Cons - 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 ## Pricing Paid. - Starter: $15/mo - Pro: $29/mo - Max: $39/mo - One-time credit packs: Varies Pricing reflects what we saw at the time of review (2026-11).

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: Solo creators who want AI image and video generation in one place without watermarks Not for: Users needing advanced image editing, inpainting, or a large community of shared models ## Overview Editly (editly.art) is a browser-based platform that puts AI image generation and short video generation under one roof. The core pitch is simple: instead of maintaining separate accounts for an image model and a video model, you spend credits from a single pool across both. Models on offer include GPT Image, Seedream, Nano, Hailuo, and Seedance, each aimed at different output styles, from photorealism to stylized illustration. The credit system is the defining structural choice here. Each generation job costs credits, failed jobs trigger an automatic refund, and unused monthly credits reset at the start of the next cycle. One-time credit packs are available for users who do not want a recurring subscription, and those credits stay valid for 365 days. All paid tiers include commercial use rights and no watermark on downloads, with exports in PNG, JPG for images and MP4 for video. What Editly does not do is deep post-generation editing. The platform is generation-first: text prompt to image, reference image to image, or prompt or still image to short video clip. Users who need inpainting, object removal, background replacement, or upscaling as part of their workflow will find the toolset thin compared to more editing-heavy competitors. The site signals that more features are coming, but the current product is deliberately lean. ## Who should use it 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. ## FAQ Q: Is there a free plan or free trial? A: 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. Q: What happens to unused credits at the end of the month? A: 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. Q: Do I get credits back if a generation fails? A: Yes. Editly applies an automatic refund of credits when a generation job fails, across all paid plans. Q: Can I use generated images and videos commercially? A: 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. Q: What file formats does Editly export? A: Images export as PNG or JPG. Videos export as MP4. Q: Can I buy credits without a monthly subscription? A: 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.
