Leonardo.Ai review: our take

Leonardo.Ai has one of the more generous free plans among image generators: 150 tokens a day, and its FAQ says commercial use applies to free users too. The current model, Lucid Origin, is pitched at clean text and graphic-design layouts in native Full HD.

Paid plans sell monthly token allowances, from 8,500 on Essential to 60,000 on Ultimate, and unused tokens roll over for up to three months. Premium adds unlimited image generations at slower speed, and Ultimate extends that to video. Leonardo's pricing page blocked our fetcher, so we list token amounts from its help center and leave out prices; check leonardo.ai/pricing before you buy. Free images are public. For text-heavy designs compare Ideogram, and for a distinctive style, Midjourney.
