Recraft Alternatives
Other options in the same category as Recraft (Image Generation), sorted by free plan and Chinese support:
Chinese support: Not supported
For the highest quality art Image generation with no budget constraints: start with Basic at US$10. Not suitable for those who cannot accept a fully English interface or require a free plan.
Chinese support: Full support
To try character consistency and retouching, start with the Gemini free version. For serious image generation, AI Plus at US$4.99 is the most affordable option. However, avoid subscribing through the US$9.99 entry point on one.google.com, as it's more expensive. Only heavy users need Ultra.
Chinese support: Not supported
Have a GPU, want privacy, don't want a monthly fee: self-hosting locally costs nothing. No GPU but want to try: Brand Studio's 1,000 free points let you play around first. Pay-as-you-go API suits developers, but be prepared — the 25-point free quota disappears after just three images.
Chinese support: Not supported
Game art style requirements: The free version offers 150 points per day for trial. For personal stable image generation: Essential annual payment of US$9.60/month is the most cost-effective. For team use: Team Starter at US$24 per seat is reasonable. However, the all-English interface is a drawback, and those who do not accept English should consider other options.
Chinese support: Not supported
Creating posters, slogans, and text rendering: the free version offers 40 trials per week. For stable demands, the Plus annual payment of US$15/month is the most cost-effective. However, the Basic plan has been discontinued, so don't be misled by outdated information. The all-English interface is a barrier.
Chinese support: Full support
For slides, social posts, and short video: try the free tier's 200 AI uses first. For daily use: Pro at US$18/month is worth it, but we can't confirm the annual price first-hand — verify on the official site yourself before subscribing. For team use, Business billed annually is the best value.
Chinese support: Full support
For commercial copyright safety: Standard US$9.99/month is a reasonable entry point. The free plan's 25 credits with watermark is really just a demo -- don't expect to get usable output for free. Pro Plus is 30% off through 2026-08-26; buy soon if you want it, but don't let the promo cloud your judgment.
Chinese support: Not supported
Developers running open-source generation models: Pay-as-you-go is the most flexible, with FLUX Dev at US$0.025/image being very cheap. However, there is no free version, so it's recommended to test with a small amount before subscribing. Private models are also charged when idle, so remember to turn them off after use.
