Pros	Open weights for [schnell]/[dev] variants Quality rivals Midjourney Excellent prompt adherence Self-hostable	Combines AI generation with a real vector editor and infinite canvas — output is editable, not just a flat PNG Model-agnostic: routes to Seedream, Ideogram, Imagen, DALL-E, Flux, and more so users aren't stuck with one aesthetic Strong for typography and badge/logo-style work, which most pure image generators handle poorly Vectorizer plus AI vector generator produce clean SVG output suitable for print, apparel, and merchandise 1M+ built-in assets, templates, and mockups reduce the need to source stock separately Free tier is usable without a credit card; paid tiers are affordable versus Adobe CC Real-time collaboration works in-browser with no install
Cons	[pro] is API-only Self-hosting needs serious GPU	AI usage is credit/token gated — heavy generators will burn through daily allowances quickly and need the Expert tier No public/documented API, so it can't be scripted into automated content pipelines Vector editor, while capable, is not a full Illustrator replacement for complex production work Browser-only with heavy assets can feel sluggish on lower-end machines or spotty connections Licensing/commercial rights across the many bundled third-party models can be confusing for merch sellers to reason about
