Kittl vs Mind the Graph

Kittl is a web-based design platform for creating illustrations, presentations, and branded graphics. Its tools include templates, a brand kit, background removal, image upscaling, vectorization, text effects, mockups, and an infinite canvas. AI features include image, vector, and video generation, plus a creative agent. Real-time collaboration is available, and sellers can create Shopify and Etsy banners and Etsy listings. The free plan is free forever and includes five projects, 100 one-time AI tokens, and access to more than one million photos, graphics, and fonts. It is for personal use only, without commercial rights; free users can preview most Pro features with light usage limits. Paid plans add premium assets, high-resolution and vector exports, more AI tokens, larger project limits, and commercial licensing. Pro is $168.00 per year and Expert is $468.00 per year, both with annual billing. Kittl runs on the web; no desktop or mobile app is listed.

Mind the Graph is a web tool for creating scientific figures, graphical abstracts, infographics, posters and presentations for research and education. Its editor lets users customize illustrations, text, shapes, colors and template elements. The site advertises more than 75,000 scientifically accurate illustrations spanning over 80 fields, along with more than 300 templates. Creations can be downloaded as PNG, TIFF or PDF files. The free Starter plan allows unlimited creations but limits users to four scientific illustrations and restricts library access. Free users must keep the Mind the Graph watermark and cite the platform in formal communications, publications, lectures and presentations. Paid options include Researcher at $9 a month billed yearly, with a monthly option shown at $14/month; Researcher with three AI tools at $12 a month billed yearly; and Teams & Labs at $99 a month for 10 or more simultaneous users. Mind the Graph became part of Cactus Communications in 2022 and is offered under CACTUS’s Editage brand.
