Design comparison
Layergrab vs Leonardo Ai
Designers, ecommerce sellers and social-media editors who need to pull one element off a flat image - a product, a poster's text, a sticker - as a clean transparent layer without opening desktop software. The Chrome extension (right-click any image on the web) is the fastest version of the job. Not a fit for anyone who needs a named company and a refund policy before paying, or for bulk API automation (no developer API is offered). · Game assets, concept art, product mockups, and controlled image generation

Official sources checked 2026-08-25Open verification questions
- The reviewed current Terms clearly allocate ownership but do not provide an equally explicit standalone commercial-use license for free-tier users; commercial rights for free-tier output should not be inferred.
- Team, enterprise, top-up-token, and API prices vary or require separate pricing paths and are not included in this individual-plan summary.
- Unlimited relaxed generation applies only to listed supported models and remains subject to slower queues and fair-use controls.
- Leonardo does not guarantee that output is unique, copyrightable, accurate, or free of third-party rights.
- The official pricing page returned HTTP 403 to automated fetches on 2026-10-01, so the 2026-08-25 pricing record could not be re-verified; the check must be repeated from a browser session.
The Privacy Policy and Terms were last updated 2026-01-19. Under clause 8.3, paid subscribers own the intellectual-property rights in Content they create, to the extent permitted by law, and Leonardo assigns any corresponding interest it has. Under clause 8.7, rights in free-subscriber Output vest in Leonardo. Paid subscribers can mark Content private; clause 8.5 says Private Content is not used, retained, analyzed, or processed for AI training or new-product development without express written consent. Clause 8.6 gives Leonardo a perpetual, transferable license to Public Content for service operation, promotion, improvement, AI-model training, new offerings, and commercial purposes. Re-check attempted 2026-10-01: leonardo.ai/pricing returned HTTP 403 to every automated fetch route used, so the recorded prices and the 2026-08-25 checked date were left unchanged rather than re-dated on unverified evidence.
