Design comparison
Leonardo Ai vs Makifyai
Game assets, concept art, product mockups, and controlled image generation · E-commerce sellers, small marketing teams and creators who turn existing product shots into listing images, ads, mockups and social graphics without a designer - one browser workspace over GPT Image 2.5/2.6, the Nano Banana 2.x family, Seedream 5.0 and FLUX 3, with 30 free credits on sign-up and one-time packs from $9.90. A sensible fit if you want per-image credit control instead of a fixed subscription and will read the refund rule before paying: 3 calendar days, 50 paid credits or fewer, minus a 2-10% processing fee. Not a fit if you need to know who the data controller is, how long uploaded product photos are kept, or that your outputs are licensed for commercial use before you upload client material - no privacy notice on the site names a controller, address or retention period, training use is never mentioned, and the Terms decline to guarantee commercial usability even though the marketing copy says a commercial licence is included.

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.

Official sources checked 2026-11-10Submitted via form by vendor; editorial entry written independently. Prices read from the served /pricing HTML on 2026-11-10 and cross-checked against the plan config shipped inside that page: monthly Basic $11.90/100, Standard $29.90/300, Pro slider $59.90-$159.90 for 750-2,300 credits; annual Basic $118.80 ($9.90/mo, 1,800), Standard $238.80 ($19.90/mo, 4,800), Pro $358.80-$958.80 ($29.90-$79.90/mo, 10,800-38,400); one-time packs 80 cr $9.90, 150 $19.90, 250 $29.90, 400 $39.90, 650 $59.90, 900 $79.90, 1,200 $99.90, 2,500 $199 (183 days); subscriber top-ups 300 $29.90, 1,500 $119, 4,500 $349, 8,500 $649, 12,500 $899; Starter Pass 40 cr / 7 days / $4.99. The /zh/pricing mirror carries the same USD figures with a CNY column, and every annual figure equals 12 monthly payments less the badge shown (17/33/50%). Legal set read in full: /privacy-policy and /terms-of-service both 'Last updated Oct 11, 2026', /refund-policy Aug 14, 2026; /privacy, /terms, /about, /contact and /refund all return 404 (the in-app config still points its refund_url at /refund). Sitewide footer names the operator as ARKELUMA LLC; the policy itself names no controller, address or jurisdiction. Whole-word sweep for 'train' across all fetched pages: zero hits.

Browser check on a clean profile 2026-11-10: GA4 G-CDGZN0YSBE plus stats.g.doubleclick.net, Microsoft Clarity xtk49ey6wl, c.bing.com and static.cloudflareinsights.com all fired with no consent banner rendered; cookies _ga, _ga_CDGZN0YSBE, MUID, SRM_B, ANONCHK, CLID and localStorage keys device_fingerprint / attribution_session_id were written. MX is Cloudflare Email Routing and accepts every local part, so an SMTP RCPT probe confirms the domain receives mail but not that a human reads a given address; support@makifyai.com is the published contact. Domain registered 2026-04-08 (Cloudflare registrar, NS audrey/sid); the name market is unrelated - makify.com is a DIY/YouTube hobby site and makify.app does not resolve - so no name dispute is recorded. No hands-on test: entering the product requires creating an account, which is outside the scope of an editorial check.
