Leonardo AI alternative

Leonardo offers many more models and tools. Soracai trades that range for one-tap effects and one-time credit packs.

What Leonardo AI is

Leonardo.ai is a token-based platform for images, video, design and motion. It offers its own models alongside third-party ones such as Nano Banana 2, Kling and Veo 3.1.

It is aimed at creators who want to choose the model and tune the output themselves.

What Leonardo AI is good at

Many image and video models in one account
150 free tokens a day, with commercial use
Unlimited relaxed video on its top plan
API and team plans

Where Soracai is different

Every effect is its own page with the uploader on it (63 today), so you pick the look first and never write a prompt.
Leonardo's top-up tokens are for subscribers only. Soracai sells credit packs to anyone, with no subscription.
Each effect shows its credit cost on the Generate button before you run it.
If a generation fails, the credits go back to your balance automatically.
