Our take
Pick Cloudinary if media / storefront teams who will stay on Free at $0 (no card) while they open a first Analysis pane, then pay Plus at $89 / month yearly ($99 monthly) or Advanced at $224 / month yearly ($249 monthly). Pick Replicate if developers who want one HTTP call per model without standing up GPUs. Skip Replicate if people who want a canvas studio (Leonardo) or a local node graph (ComfyUI).
