Leonardo AI offers a generous free tier and multiple models, but the token system is confusing and the interface is complex. Free users get 150 tokens/day, but different models cost different amounts — making it hard to predict costs.
Myjourney keeps it simple: $0.03 per standard image, $0.07 per pro image. No token math, no daily limits, no model-specific pricing tiers. Plus AI video generation that Leonardo doesn't match.
| Feature | Myjourney | Leonardo AI |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | $0.03-0.07 per image (simple) | Token system (150 free/day, then subscription) |
| Free Tier | 100 credits (no daily limit) | 150 tokens/day (varies by model) |
| Image Models | Flux Schnell + Flux Pro | Multiple (Phoenix, Kino XL, etc.) |
| Video Generation | Veo 3 (Google) | Motion (limited) |
| Interface | Simple — prompt and generate | Complex — many settings and options |
| Pricing Clarity | Fixed price per image | Variable token cost per model |
| Commercial Use | Yes | Yes (paid plans) |
Leonardo's free tier is generous for casual use. But if you want predictable pricing, simpler UX, and AI video, Myjourney is cleaner.
Start with 100 free creditsBoth generate quality AI images. Myjourney is simpler (fixed pricing, clean UI) while Leonardo offers more model options. If you want straightforward image/video generation without complexity, Myjourney wins.
Leonardo offers 150 free tokens/day, but costs vary by model (8-60 tokens per image). Myjourney offers 100 free credits with predictable $0.03/image pricing.
Myjourney uses Google Veo 3, which produces significantly better video quality than Leonardo's motion features.
If you value simplicity and video quality, yes. If you need Leonardo's specific fine-tuning and multiple model options, it depends on your workflow.
