Both cover ai image generation. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Images, chat, video and music on one prepaid wallet
DeepAI puts image generation, chat, short video and music generation behind a single subscription with a monthly allowance for each, and tops up from a prepaid balance when the allowance runs out. Nothing has to be bought per tool. The allowances reset monthly whether you pay by month or by year. Anybody who needs one model in particular will find a dedicated tool sharper than this one is at any of them.
Our note
Read the video allowance before buying on the strength of the image numbers, because 25 seconds a month is the line most people hit first and it is easy to miss beside 500 images. For image work alone the allowance is large enough that the wallet rarely comes into it.
Only on this side
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.

Our note
Leonardo is the pick when consistency matters more than the single best-looking render, because training a model on your own images is the feature its rivals mostly do not have. For one-off images, NightCafe costs the same and gives you more models to try.
