About Leonardo.ai

Leonardo.ai is a comprehensive AI art platform offering image generation, video creation, and custom model training at competitive prices. The token-based system starts with 150 free daily tokens, with paid plans from $10/month unlocking faster generation speeds, higher resolution, and 'Relaxed Generation' for unlimited outputs (with caveats). Unlike Midjourney's flat subscription, Leonardo charges tokens per action—simple images cost fewer tokens than videos or complex upscaling. Key differentiator: train custom models by uploading 10-20 images to replicate specific styles or subjects. Paid subscribers get full IP rights. Generates images faster and at higher resolution than rivals, with up to 6 simultaneous jobs on Maestro Unlimited. Ideal for concept artists, marketers, and game designers needing volume and customization.
