Many image models, and a community around them
NightCafe puts a long list of image models behind one prompt box and adds daily challenges, badges and a public feed to the outside of it. The free credits refresh every day and most of what a casual user wants is covered by them. Paying buys Fast Credits, which are the ones that do not queue.
Our note
Come here to try a lot of models cheaply, and go to Leonardo when you have settled on a look and need it repeated. The community side is genuine rather than decorative, which is unusual, and it is the reason people describe NightCafe as fun.

Product photos with the background removed
Photoroom cuts a subject out of a photo and drops it onto something better, which is most of what selling a physical product on Instagram or Etsy requires. Batch mode does a whole catalogue at once. It is built around commerce imagery rather than general editing, so a portrait retoucher will find it narrow.
