Summary
Overview
Krea works as a hub: you pick from many image and video models and pay in compute units rather than per tool. It also adds workflow features, a node editor that can be turned into reusable apps, and an agent that runs the steps for you. The value depends on which models you use, so check the generation counts table on the pricing page.
Who it's for
A good fit if you are…
- Creators who want many models in one place
- Designers who like node-based, repeatable workflows
Another tool may suit you better if you are…
- People who want one fixed model and a flat price
- People needing indemnification below the Business tier
