Krea AI is a creative suite that puts many image, video and 3D models in one place, along with real-time generation, upscaling, LoRA training, the Krea Agent and its own Krea 2 image model. The free plan gives 100 compute units a day, but no video, no commercial license and only some image models. Basic costs $9 a month, or $5.25 billed yearly, for 5,000 units, a commercial license and selected video models. Pro costs $35, or $21 yearly, for 20,000 units and every model. Max costs $105, or $63 yearly, for 60,000 units and unlimited relaxed image generations. Units don't roll over on these plans.

Krea doesn't ask you to choose a model. It gathers dozens of them in one place, from its own Krea 2 to Nano Banana for edits and Seedance for video, and bills all of them in one currency, compute units. That's convenient. It also means the useful question isn't which plan has the most features, but how far your units go.
Krea built its name on real-time generation, where the image redraws as you type or sketch. That's still the most distinctive thing about it, and it's available even on the free plan.
At this width Krea shows Free, Pro and Max, with Basic and Business in the full plan list. Yearly billing, October 4, 2026.
| Free | Basic | Pro | Max | Business | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Billed monthly | $0 | $9 | $35 | $105 | $200 |
| Billed yearly, per month | $0 | $5.25 | $21 | $63 | $160 |
| Compute units | 100 a day | 5,000 a month | 20,000 a month | 60,000 a month, adjustable | 80,000 a month, shared |
| Roughly equals | Image experiments | 64 Nano Banana 2 images or 20 Seedance 2.0 videos | 257 images or 83 videos | 771 images or 250 videos | 1,028 images or 333 videos |
| Models | Real-time and Krea 2 | All image models, selected video models | All models | All models | All models |
| Commercial license | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Yearly billing takes about 40% off Basic, Pro and Max, and about 20% off Business. Max's slider changes the monthly allowance between 40,000 and 100,000 units, and the price moves with it.
The examples on Krea's pricing page make the arithmetic easy. A Nano Banana 2 image costs about 78 units, and a Seedance 2.0 video about 250, so one video costs as much as three images. Basic's 5,000 units cover a few dozen images a month or about 20 videos, which is enough for occasional work but not for a weekly video habit.
On the individual paid plans, units expire at the end of each billing cycle. Pro and Max can buy extra unit packs at bulk discounts. Max has the safety net the others lack: after its units run out, it keeps generating with Krea's in-house image models in a slower, unlimited queue.
Concurrency, meaning how many jobs run at once, also rises with the plan. Free runs one image and no video. Basic runs four images and two videos, and Pro eight and four. Max allows unlimited image jobs and eight videos.
Real-time generation is the reason many people try Krea. You type a prompt or draw rough shapes, and the image updates as you go, which is a fast way to explore compositions before committing to a slower, higher-quality model. Every plan includes it.
The Krea Agent is newer. You brief it once, and it plans the work and picks the models, then generates and iterates. Krea Nodes, a visual editor for chaining models, prompts and processing steps into workflows, starts on Basic. Pro adds the App Builder, which turns a workflow into a reusable app, and the Nodes Agent, which builds and edits workflows from plain-language requests.
Paid plans also upscale images up to 22K, including through Topaz's upscaler, while the free plan stops at 2K. LoRA training, which teaches a model your own characters, products or style, takes up to 50 images on most plans and up to 2,000 on Max. Developers can reach Krea through an API and an MCP server.
Business costs $200 a month, or $160 billed yearly, for 80,000 units shared across a workspace, with one invoice for everyone's usage. Unlike the individual plans, Business and Enterprise can roll unused units over to the next period, on terms agreed with Krea's sales team. Enterprise adds custom pricing on top.
For many people that's the better deal. An aggregator only pays off if you use several models, and someone who wants one look gets more for less from Midjourney at $10 a month. Leonardo offers a similar multi-model studio with 150 free tokens a day, and Adobe Firefly adds commercial-safety promises from $9.99. Ideogram is stronger for readable text and Recraft for vector graphics. For video-first work, Higgsfield is the closest aggregator.
What Krea adds is the workflow around the models. Real-time sketching helps at the idea stage, upscaling sits in the same app, and switching models takes one click. Designers who work that way every day should price out Pro, at $35 a month or $21 billed yearly. It opens every model, and Max mostly adds a bigger allowance.
Each day you get 100 compute units, real-time generation, the Krea Agent and the Krea 2 model, LoRA training on up to 50 images and basic upscaling to 2K. The free plan leaves out video, most image models, 3D and the commercial license, so anything for clients needs at least Basic.
The currency for everything you generate, with each model costing a different amount. Krea's own examples put Basic's 5,000 monthly units at about 64 Nano Banana 2 images or 20 Seedance 2.0 videos, so video uses units much faster. On Basic, Pro and Max, units expire at the end of each billing cycle.
On paid plans, yes. Basic and above include a commercial license covering marketing, products and client work. The free plan doesn't include one.
Pro, at $35 a month or $21 yearly, gives 20,000 units, every model, the App Builder and the Nodes Agent, and runs 8 images and 4 videos at once. Max adds unlimited relaxed generations with Krea's in-house image models after units run out, LoRA training on up to 2,000 images, unlimited image concurrency and 60,000 units, adjustable from 40,000 to 100,000.
Not on Basic, Pro or Max, where unused units expire each cycle. Business and Enterprise plans can roll unused units over to the next period, with rollover terms agreed with Krea's sales team.
