Pros & Cons
Microsoft Designer
- Genuinely free tier provides real access with 15 monthly AI credits, no payment required
- Microsoft 365 subscribers get 4x more credits without a separate Designer-specific purchase
- Powered by DALL-E 3, a well-regarded image generation model
- No standalone Designer-specific paid plan — expanded access requires a full Microsoft 365 subscription
- Free tier’s 15 credits/month is limiting for regular design work
- Sales-led paid pricing beyond bundled Microsoft 365 tiers isn’t available for direct self-serve purchase
Autodraw
- Extremely fast and simple for basic icon-style visuals
- Completely free with no signup required
- No drawing skill needed at all
- Limited to simple icon-style shapes, not real illustration or complex scenes
- Not a substitute for a full image generator or design tool
- Hasn’t evolved much beyond its original narrow scope
