Who it's for
Leonardo.Ai is a strong fit for creators and small studios who want an affordable, high-volume generation workflow with unlimited relaxed-mode fallback and access to many different first- and third-party models in one place.
Who it's not for
Heavy video generators or users relying mainly on premium third-party models (Sora, Veo, Nano Banana Pro) should budget carefully, since those always consume tokens at full rate with no unlimited fallback.
Pricing
| Plan | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 150 tokens/day (resets daily), Leonardo owns generated images but grants a non-exclusive commercial-use license |
| Apprentice | $12/mo ($10/mo billed annually) | 8,500 tokens/mo (~1,400-2,100 images), Alchemy and Prompt Magic v3 unlocked, full image ownership |
| Artisan | $30/mo ($24/mo billed annually) | 25,000 tokens/mo (~4,100-6,250 images), PhotoReal v2 and Alchemy Refiner included |
| Maestro | $60/mo ($48/mo billed annually) | 60,000 tokens/mo (~10,000-15,000 images), API access, unlimited relaxed generation on first-party models |
Pros
- Unlimited "Relaxed Generation" on first-party models once monthly tokens run out — never a hard stop
- Wide model selection including its own fine-tuned models plus third-party options (Flux, Ideogram, Nano Banana, Kling, Sora)
- Token rollover on paid plans preserves unused allowance instead of losing it
- Full commercial ownership of generated images on all paid tiers
Cons
- Token costs vary a lot by model and task (video costs far more than images), making usage hard to predict
- Free tier images are owned by Leonardo (though a commercial-use license is granted)
- Third-party models (GPT-Image-1, Nano Banana Pro, Sora, etc.) always consume tokens and are excluded from unlimited relaxed generation
