SeaArt

Yes. SeaArt's Beginner tier is now free and grants 300 daily Stamina, about 9,000 a month or roughly 1,500 images, with up to 6 images per batch and 5 generation tasks at once. You get access to the community model library, image-to-image, and inpainting. A 3-day free trial of paid plans lets you test premium features before committing. For casual daily use, the free tier is sustainable.

SeaArt has a free Beginner tier (300 daily Stamina, roughly 1,500 images a month) plus three paid tiers: Standard at $29.99/month (1,800 daily Stamina), Professional at $59.99/month (4,000 daily Stamina), and Master at $149.99/month (12,000 daily Stamina). Those are month-to-month prices; yearly billing is advertised at 40% less.

SeaArt uses two currencies. Stamina is automatically replenished daily and valid only that day, think of it as your daily free allowance. Credits are earned through community activity, events, or direct purchase and have longer expiration windows. One image costs about 6 Credits, while a video costs 30 to 90 Credits. Free users rely on Stamina; paid users get more Stamina plus bonus Credits.

Yes. SeaArt supports AI video generation at a cost of 30 to 90 Credits per video depending on length and complexity. Video generation is available to all users who have Credits, making SeaArt one of the more affordable ways to generate AI video compared to dedicated platforms like Runway or Pika. Quality trails dedicated video tools but is acceptable for social media use.

Both platforms offer browser-based Stable Diffusion with community models and daily free credits. Tensor Art has Pro at $9.90/month and stronger LoRA training tools. SeaArt has a free Beginner tier and integrated video generation at a lower price point. For cheap image-only use, SeaArt wins on entry pricing. For LoRA training and model variety, Tensor Art is stronger.

It depends when you obtained them. Event Credits obtained before April 1, 2026 never expire. Event Credits obtained on or after April 1, 2026 are valid for 90 days to 2 years. Purchased Credits before April 2026 never expire; purchased Credits on or after April 2026 are valid for 2 years. Daily Stamina always resets every 24 hours and does not carry over.

Yes, and SeaArt's own FAQ is more permissive here than most AI art platforms. SeaArt states that the intellectual property rights in the content you generate on the platform belong to you, and it does not gate commercial use behind a paid plan. The caveat is other people's work: if you want to commercialize another user's SeaArt creation, model, or LoRA, you must obtain authorization from that owner, and SeaArt explicitly disclaims responsibility for that risk. Individual community model licenses can still add their own restrictions, so check the model page before you publish.

Moderately. The core generation experience is beginner-friendly with prompt templates and style presets, but the dual currency system (Stamina + Credits) and community model library add some complexity. Beginners looking for the simplest possible AI art experience may prefer NightCafe or Playground AI. For beginners willing to learn Stable Diffusion, SeaArt's free tier is excellent.
