The short version
- Only Leonardo AI has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Leonardo AI video generation trails specialized video tools like Pika, with no native timeline editing or motion interpolation; Mmhmm renamed to Airtime and split into four separate tools, Camera, Recorder, Creator and Stacks, rather than the single app the mmhmm name refers to
- They diverge on capability: Leonardo AI covers Text-to-image, Mmhmm covers Custom layouts.
