Overview
What you provide
- Provide a creative brief, choose a model and review image or video guidance settings.
What you get
- Leonardo generates images and selected video outputs through hosted models, guidance controls and creative presets.
Choosing this tool
Leonardo is useful when hosted image generation needs private outputs and a visible token bank. Free is for public exploration, while Essential introduces privacy and monthly tokens. Compare NightCafe for another multi-model hosted workflow, or ComfyUI when local model and graph control outweigh setup effort.
A decision worked through
Three months of Essential cost USD 36 before tax. Its 25,500-token bank equals three times the 8,500 monthly grant, but this is a storage ceiling rather than a guarantee that a fixed number of images will fit: model and settings change token consumption.
