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 Topaz Photo if photographers who will pay the live Personal promo (about $19.50/mo for the first 3 months, then $39/mo) while they sharpen a first Texas-style still — not Studio $199.50 first-year unless they need the suite, and not a free forever editor (there isn’t one).
