Recraft

Recraft is positioned as an AI workspace for generating and editing visuals, with an emphasis on both raster images and true vector output. Its documentation states the Free plan provides 30 credits per day, allows up to three image uploads per day, and produces up to two images per prompt, with credits resetting every 24 hours. The same doc notes that Free plan generations are public and may appear in the community gallery. For teams building products, Recraft also offers an API for production image generation. The API pricing page lists per image costs for specific models such as Recraft V3 Raster at $0.04 per image and Recraft V3 Vector at $0.08 per image, with descriptions emphasizing prompt adherence, layout control, reliable text rendering, and editable SVG output. A practical evaluation should separate two workflows: creative generation in the app and automated generation via API. For the app, test style consistency, vector editability in your design tools, and how public outputs affect your use case. For the API, validate authentication, rate limits, output formats, and cost predictability per asset. If you cannot accept public generations, start with paid plans or restrict experimentation to non sensitive concepts.
