Monthly Users

Deeply integrated directly into Photoshop’s existing professional editing workflow
Multiple model options let users choose between Adobe’s own model or third-party alternatives
Top-up credit packs available for users who exceed their monthly allowance

Standalone Photoshop plan’s 25 monthly credits are quite modest for regular Generative Fill use
Credit cost varies significantly by model choice — third-party models can cost 4x Adobe’s own model
Requires an active Photoshop subscription — no standalone access to Generative Fill alone

Largest user base and ecosystem of any AI assistant, with the most third-party integrations
Genuinely broad capability across writing, coding, research, and file analysis
Custom GPTs allow tailoring the assistant to specific repeated tasks
Frequent model updates keep it competitive on raw capability

Free tier has usage limits and access to a lower-tier model than paid plans
Can produce confident-sounding but incorrect information, especially without browsing enabled
Breadth can mean less depth than a tool purpose-built for one specific workflow
Data usage and training policies require attention for sensitive or regulated work
