Artbreeder

Artbreeder works by crossing and nudging images rather than by writing a prompt and hoping, which suits character and portrait work where you want the next version to be nearly the last one. Splicer mixes two pictures, Collager builds from rough shapes you place yourself. Credits meter the fast rendering, and the slower free path stays open when they run out.

Three tiers, sold as credits a year and displayed as a monthly figure times twelve. Starter is $7.49 a month for 1,200 credits at seven cents each, advanced is $15.99 for 3,300 at six cents, and champion is $30.99 for 8,400 at four cents. There is a monthly and yearly toggle whose state the page does not state, so the cadence is left open here. Credits reset at the start of each billing period rather than rolling over, which the page confirms in its own FAQ. Running out drops you back to the free features rather than stopping you.

Character, portrait and concept work where you want the tenth version to be a small step from the ninth. Somebody who wants one finished image from one sentence will get there faster with Leonardo.Ai or Recraft.
