The short version

  • Only Spline has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Krea usage is metered in compute units that vary by operation; the free tier grants only 100 units per day, and the $9 per month Basic tier steps up to 5,000 units, as of August 2026.; Spline aI generation features produce inconsistent and often distorted results, failing at basic depth perception tasks
