ABOUT KREA AI
OVERVIEW
- Who is it for?
- Designers and creators who iterate visually in real time and want several models available without separate subscriptions.
- Problem
- Generation is normally a submit-and-wait loop, which makes exploring a direction slow, and each new model usually means another account and another bill.
- Solution
- Krea runs generation in real time on a canvas so output updates as you work, and puts many image and video models behind one shared compute-unit balance. Plans step from a free tier through Basic at 5000 units per month to Business at 80000, with annual billing advertised at 40 percent off.
- What makes it unique
- Real-time generation as the primary interaction model, and a single compute-unit currency spent across every model rather than per-model quotas.
KEY FEATURES
- Real-time generation canvas that updates as the prompt or sketch changes
- Many third-party image and video models behind one balance
- Enhancement and upscaling tools
- Shared workspace compute pool with per-member limits on Business plans
- Annual billing advertised at 40 percent off
- Additional compute packs for heavy users
