| Service | Your workload | Consumption |

| Adobe Firefly | per generated second | 20 credits, billed in 5 s clips1080p video: 100 credits per 5 s (Standard 2,000 credits = up to 20 five-second videos) verified |
Tips: how to compare correctly
6 tips
Avoid
- Assuming generations are private - on some plans images are public by default
- Forgetting to check commercial-use terms before using images in ads or products
- Buying an image tool when your chat assistant already generates images
Where to start
- Artistic illustrations: Midjourney
- Images inside a chat you already use: ChatGPT or Gemini
- Designs with text and templates: Canva; commercially safe stock-style images: Adobe Firefly
Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate the cost of ai image generators?
We take your workload, convert it into the unit each plan actually counts (seconds, credits, channels, runs, conversations, characters), check the included quota and hard limits, add known overage packs and list external costs we cannot price. Unknown prices are never shown as zero.
Why are some totals marked "at least" or "incomplete"?
Because part of the cost is unknown: a price on request, a price that needs re-checking, or external costs such as hosting, model API usage or telephony. We show the known part and name what is missing.
Can I compare credits between different services?
No. Credits of different vendors are different units. We only compare the total cost of the same workload.
