Our take
Pick Leonardo AI if designers and marketers who want a web UI, a free daily allowance, and more model/style knobs than a chat image button. Pick Spline if web designers who will stay on Free at $0 (watermarked web exports) while they publish a first scene, then Hobby at $12/month yearly when they need no watermark and higher-res exports — not Pro $25 first unless they need the Pro library / MCP quota.
