Krea Review (2026)
Krea review: one web app (plus iOS) for AI images, video, upscaling, LoRA training and a node editor. It runs its own models, including the new Krea 3 image model, next to Nano Banana, GPT Image, FLUX, Seedance, Veo, Kling and others, all paid for from one pool of compute units.
- Free: 100 units a day
- Price: Basic $9/mo ($5 yearly)
- Krea 3: On every plan
- Affiliate: 20% for 12 months (not joined)

Summary
Quick verdict: one of the best-value ways to get many top image and video models in one place, with a real free tier (100 units a day) and a cheap way in at $9 a month or $5 billed yearly. The catch is the unit system: monthly units do not roll over, videos burn them fast, and the free plan has no commercial license.
- A browser studio (and iOS app) that puts Krea’s own models (Krea 1, 2 and the new Krea 3) next to third-party ones such as Nano Banana, GPT Image, FLUX, Ideogram, Seedance, Veo, Kling, Wan and MiniMax.
- Tools include image and video generation, real-time generation as you draw, image editing by typing, upscaling up to 22K on paid plans, lip sync, motion transfer, 3D and LoRA training.
- Krea Agent plans, generates and refines a whole set of images or videos from one brief; Krea Nodes and the App Builder turn workflows into reusable apps.
- Krea also plugs into ChatGPT, Claude (via MCP) and creative software such as After Effects.
- Everything is paid in compute units: Free gets 100 a day; Basic, Pro and Max get 5,000, 20,000 and 60,000 a month.
- Krea 3, its new in-house image model, is on every plan, including Free. Our Krea 3 pricing post covers its per-image cost.

Price snapshot: This is the price at the moment we wrote this review (October 20, 2026). The price may have changed by the time you read it, so check the official site for today’s price.
- Limited offer (ended): Krea ran an “Unlimited Krea 3 for 14 days” offer (unlimited Fast Krea 3 generations) with a qualifying Pro or Max annual purchase. It ended on Thursday, October 22, 2026 at about 4:25 PM ET, and the pricing page no longer shows it (checked October 22, 2026). Basic and Free were not included.
- Yearly is labelled “40% off”. Krea says yearly Basic saves $48, Pro $168 and Max $504 against monthly billing.
- Monthly units on Basic, Pro and Max do not roll over. Extra one-time packs (2,000 to 50,000 units) expire after 90 days.
- Paid plans keep “unlimited relaxed generations” with supported Krea image models after the units run out.
- Commercial license: Krea’s FAQ says Basic, Pro, Max, Business and Enterprise include one; Free is not listed.
- Krea’s own comparison table shows Basic at $5.25 a month yearly while the plan card shows $5; we use the card price.
What a year costs (our math)
| Plan | Monthly × 12 | Yearly | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $108 | $60 | $48 |
| Pro | $420 | $252 | $168 |
| Max (60k) | $1,260 | $756 | $504 |
Our arithmetic from the listed prices; it matches the savings Krea shows. On Pro yearly, 450 Nano Banana 2 images a month work out to about 4.7 cents an image.

The catch
You pay in units, and video eats them quickly.
- Basic, Pro and Max units reset every month and do not roll over; top-up packs expire after 90 days.
- Video is expensive in units: Basic’s 5,000 units buy roughly 15 Seedance 2.0 Fast videos, and Basic only gets “selected” video models.
- The free plan has no commercial license, so client and marketing work needs a paid plan.
- The unlimited Krea 3 offer, which ended on October 22, 2026, needed a Pro or Max annual payment ($252 or more up front) and lasted only 14 days.
- With dozens of models and a slider on Max, the real cost per image depends on which model you pick.
- Krea’s pricing page and comparison table disagree slightly on Basic yearly ($5 vs $5.25).
Verdict
- Free (100 units a day): enough to try Krea 3 and a few other models; personal use only.
- Basic ($5 yearly / $9 monthly): cheap commercial use for images; light on video.
- Pro ($21 yearly / $35 monthly): the sensible pick if you make video or need all models.
- Max or Business: only after you know your monthly unit burn.
This is the price at the moment we wrote this review (October 20, 2026). The price may have changed by the time you read it, so check the official site for today’s price.
Worth trying if: you make images and short videos regularly and want many top models under one subscription.
Skip it if: you need lots of video on a small budget, or units that roll over.
Not tested hands-on. Prices can change; re-check krea.ai/pricing before you buy.
