Our verdict
Recraft is a design toolkit rather than a companion service, and it suits adults who want images and video handled in one place with commercial use permitted. It stands apart from the alternatives here on video generation, and the median monthly price across the compared sites is €13.15.

What is free and what costs
Recraft lists Free plan available, so a render can run before any paid tier. Generation is Credit-based; cost varies by action and model, which means the charge shifts with the action and the model behind it. Budget by action rather than by image, and check the credit cost of the model you want before running a batch.
Using the service
Video generation is part of Recraft rather than a separate tool, so clips and stills come from the same account. That suits readers who need a short motion piece next to a still without moving between services. Commercial use is permitted, so finished output is not limited to personal drafts and can carry client work.
How Recraft compares
Frequently asked questions
Is there a way to try Recraft without paying?+
Recraft lists Free plan available, so an account can be opened and a render started before any paid tier. Generation is Credit-based; cost varies by action and model, so trial work and paid work draw on the same credit system. That helps you check output style before spending.
How much does a single image cost?+
Recraft bills generation in credits rather than a flat per-image fee. The pricing works out as Credit-based; cost varies by action and model, so the amount depends on the action you run and the model behind it. Check the credit cost for the action and model you want before running a large batch.
Does Recraft make video as well as stills?+
Yes. Video generation is part of the service, so clips and stills come from the same account rather than a separate tool. Credit use follows Credit-based; cost varies by action and model, so a clip can draw on a different share of the balance than a still, and the model you pick matters either way.
Can I use what I create commercially?+
Commercial use is permitted, so finished output is not limited to personal drafts and can carry client or product work. Generation is Credit-based; cost varies by action and model, so the credit outlay for a commercial batch follows the action and model rather than a flat per-image fee. Keep a record of the plan you were on at the time.
How do I get help from Recraft?+
Support runs on email, so a question goes by email rather than through live chat or a phone line. The service is operated by Recraft Inc., the entity named in the terms, which is the party to address with a billing or credit query in writing.
Which models can I choose from?+
Recraft lists free and premium models, so the catalogue splits between a no-cost tier and a premium one. That split carries into billing, because generation is Credit-based; cost varies by action and model: the action and the model together set the charge for stills and for video alike.
How does Recraft's pricing compare with similar sites?+
Recraft lists Free plan available, so there is a no-cost way in before any spend. Across the sites compared here, the median monthly price is €13.15, and monthly prices run as high as €973.43. A heavy month depends on usage, because generation is Credit-based; cost varies by action and model.
Who operates Recraft?+
The service is operated by Recraft Inc., the entity named in the terms, so billing and credit queries go to that party. Commercial use is permitted, so finished output is not limited to personal drafts. Support runs on email, which is the listed route for both kinds of question.
