⚠ Preliminary, based on public research, hands-on test pending. These scores come from a desk review of public sources (official pricing pages, docs, changelogs), linked on each tool page. Rex hasn't run the hands-on tests yet, so tiers shown are projected. Under our rubric, a tool's official tier is capped at B until it's tested.

What looks good

  • No seat fees; workspaces share a balance
  • Pricing calculator and API cost-estimate endpoint before you generate

Watch-outs

  • Costs vary by model, resolution and batch size, so harder to predict
  • Aimed more at studios than solo devs

From public sources below, not from our own hands-on testing (yet).
