In their own words
FLUX
FLUX is a set of AI models from Black Forest Labs for creating and editing images and video. FLUX 3 can make video with synchronized audio from text or images, or continue a clip, with a maximum length of 20 seconds. FLUX.2 generates and edits images up to 4 MP, with multi-reference editing, hex color control and text rendering. FLUX Tools add outpainting, object erasing, virtual try-on, video upscaling and deblurring. Access options include a browser playground, API and downloadable weights for self-hosting. Platforms listed are API, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web and Windows. There is a free plan; the listed pay-as-you-go FLUX.2 [klein] 4B option is $0.01, paid once, with additional megapixel and reference-image charges. API use includes full commercial rights without a separate license; rights for open-weight models depend on their license. Submitted prompts, uploads, tasks and outputs may be used to train and improve models, with an email opt-out route.
Recraft
Recraft provides text-to-image generation, reference image support and image editing, with output in SVG, PNG, JPG, PDF, TIFF and Lottie formats. API access is available, and API is the listed platform. Its free plan includes 30 daily credits. Monthly AI credits are listed as 1,000 credits per month, alongside the plan-specific credit amounts. Commercial use is limited. Recraft was founded in 2022 and is headquartered in London, United Kingdom. The free plan offers a way to use the product without a listed subscription price, while the named tiers specify progressively larger credit totals. The combination of image generation, editing, references and multiple export formats may be relevant to people creating or modifying visual assets, including those who need vector and raster outputs.
