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.
Magnific
Freepik's stock library plus AI models
Magnific is what Freepik renamed itself, and the plan buys both halves of that history: a quarter of a billion photos, vectors and PSDs, plus generation and upscaling across a shelf of image, video and audio models. Credits are the meter, and they are issued for the year rather than reset every month, so a heavy fortnight does not strand the rest of the quarter. A commercial licence covers what comes out. Anybody who only wants stock will be paying for the model access as well, because the plans no longer separate them.
Our note
Check what you currently spend on stock before treating this as a generation tool, because for a lot of people the library alone justifies the entry plan and the models are the part that comes free. The name change is recent enough that searching for Freepik pricing will still find old figures.

Piktochart
Infographics and reports from templates
Piktochart turns a report or a set of figures into something a person will actually read: an infographic, a one-page summary, a poster for a wall. Templates handle the layout and the editor keeps you inside them, which is the point for anybody who does not design for a living. There is a free plan, and the paid ones are priced per member.
