Who it's for
Adobe Firefly is the safest choice for enterprises, agencies, and Creative Cloud users who need commercially indemnified images that integrate directly into Photoshop/Illustrator/Express workflows.
Who it's not for
Users outside the Adobe ecosystem chasing the single best-looking image model, or anyone wanting simple flat-rate pricing, will likely find Firefly's credit tiers and multi-model bundling more overhead than benefit.
