PLATFORM COMPARISON

Affogato vs Krea

Krea is the better creative canvas. Affogato is built for finished jobs: guided studios for product, fashion, presenters and influencers, credits that roll over, and one API on your plan's credits.

Both put the leading image and video models (Kling, Seedance, Nano Banana, Flux) behind one plan. Krea is a creative canvas for artists and designers: realtime drawing, nodes, upscaling and style training. Affogato is built around finished jobs: product shoots, fashion, presenters and influencers in guided studios.

Which one fits you

Choose Affogato when

  • You want the job done, not just a frame: guided Product, Fashion, Headshot, Talking Head and Influencer studios, plus a Video Editor.
  • Your output is uneven month to month. Affogato credits roll over on every plan; Krea's individual plans don't.
  • You want one locked character or product used across every image and video.
  • You build with code or agents: one REST API and MCP server on your plan's credits.

Choose Krea when

  • You draw and iterate visually: Krea's realtime canvas and nodes have no equivalent on Affogato.
  • You want to train a style on your own images, or upscale to 22K.
  • You work inside Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere, DaVinci or Blender and want a plugin.

One face to a week of creator posts, made in Affogato

The brief: a creator account on Instagram and TikTok, with the same person in every post. It starts from one portrait. Each image and clip below is the unedited output of the step it sits under.

    Create the person once

    One clear portrait becomes the reference. Every post after it starts from the same face, so followers see one person, not a lookalike.
