Pros & Cons
Leonardo AI
- Remains an independent product with its own plans despite the Canva acquisition
- Canva Business subscribers get Essential-tier access already included at no extra cost
- Unified token currency across image, video, design, and motion simplifies usage tracking
- Token-metered system requires understanding usage rates across different generation types
- Unlimited relaxed generation is limited to selected first-party models on Premium/Ultimate only
- Higher tiers (Premium $30/month, Ultimate $60/month) represent meaningful cost for heavy usage
Gemini
- Deeply integrated across Google’s broader ecosystem (Search, Workspace, Android)
- Ultra tier pricing was reduced from its original $250/month, improving accessibility
- API pricing offers genuinely low-cost options (Flash-Lite at $0.10/million tokens) for cost-sensitive applications
- Full Workspace integration requires at least Business Standard ($14/user/month), not available on cheaper Workspace tiers
- Credit-based system layered on top of tier usage limits adds complexity to understanding real usage capacity
- Ultra tier’s $99.99-$199.99/month range represents significant cost for maximum usage limits and Deep Think access
