Krea

What it is for

Krea is a hosted image/video studio: the signed-out Image home (see the cover: Krea 3 picker, generation grid, “Describe an idea…”) is the composer. Use it when the job is prompt-to-image with a unit meter, not when you need a local node graph.

It is not open source. Free exists (100 units/day). Basic is the first public paid card.

What makes it unique: the cover is the live krea.ai Image canvas (grid + prompt + Auto/Fast/LoRA), not a wordmark.

Key features

• Image composer — prompt or image reference, Krea 3 model, send (cover).
• Krea Agent / Nodes / Moodboards / Train LoRA — sidebar tools on the same app.
• Units — generations draw from a daily (Free) or monthly (paid) pool.
• Video / 3D / lipsync — plan-gated; Pro unlocks all video models on the card we copied.
• Commercial license — listed on every public card including Free.

Who it's for

Best fit: designers who will live in one studio and pay when the 100-unit Free day ends.

Poor fit: people who want a local Comfy graph (ComfyUI) or a per-prediction HTTP playground (fal).

Pricing

Verified 2026-10-21 (Asia/Shanghai) from krea.ai/pricing with the Yearly 40% off toggle. The large figure is the monthly list; the smaller figure is the yearly equivalent. Re-check before you buy.

• Free — $0/month. 100 units / day. No card. Limited LoRA (50 images) and 2K upscale.
• Basic — $9 monthly list / $5/month billed yearly. 5,000 units / month. Selected video models.

• Max — $105 monthly list / $63/month billed yearly. 60,000 units / month (higher unit sliders on the same card).

A 14-day “Unlimited Krea 3” promo was on the page for qualifying Pro/Max annual purchases — treat it as a promo, not a list price.

Limitations / costs

• $5 / $21 / $63 are yearly. Monthly list is $9 / $35 / $105.
