Deep Dream Generator
AI images with a gallery attached
Deep Dream Generator has been generating images since the style-transfer era and kept the community that grew around it, so the feed of what other people made is half the product. Generation runs on an energy allowance that refills monthly, with images costing less than video. The free tier is enough to see whether the models suit you. Commercial rights arrive with a paid plan rather than being included by default.
Our note
Read the energy costs per creation before picking a tier, since the plan prices tell you almost nothing on their own and a video costs many times what an image does. For commercial work, check that the rights you need arrive with the plan you were going to buy rather than a dearer one.
Leonardo.Ai
Image generation with your own trained models
Leonardo generates images from a prompt and, unlike most of the tools that do, lets you train a model on your own pictures and keep using it. That is what people stay for: a character or a product that looks the same across fifty images rather than approximately the same. The canvas and the real-time editor sit alongside it, and there is an API if the work belongs in something you built.
