Pros & Cons
Icons8 AI
- Genuinely free icon generation with no signup or registration required
- Affordable Pro tier ($12.50/month) removes attribution requirements
- Broad graphic generation coverage spanning icons, illustrations, and people photos
- Attribution-free and broader AI generation require at least the Pro or "AI and graphics" tier
- Ultimate tier at $199/month represents significant cost for unlimited access
- Additional AI credits beyond plan allowance add extra cost at $2 per 1,000
Adobe Firefly
- Commercial-use indemnification that most competing generators don’t offer
- Deep integration into Photoshop, Illustrator, and Express workflows
- Trained on licensed and public-domain content rather than unclear-rights web data
- Raw image aesthetic quality is competitive with, not clearly superior to, other leading generators
- Full functionality generally requires an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription
- Some artistic styles may be more restricted compared to less curated training data
