Our take
Pick ComfyUI if power users who already understand samplers, seeds, and checkpoints. Pick Replicate if developers who want one HTTP call per model without standing up GPUs. Skip ComfyUI if people who want a hosted prompt box (Leonardo / Midjourney) with no graph. Skip Replicate if people who want a canvas studio (Leonardo) or a local node graph (ComfyUI).
