Lovart has a strong idea: a design agent you hand a brief to, which produces a full identity with variants. When it lands, it is spectacular.
The cost follows the ambition. The free trial gives 30 credits a day, barely one result. Plans run from Starter at 2,000 credits to Pro at $72 a month for 11,000, with teams around $99 per person. A full brand project easily burns more than 500 credits, and monthly credits do not roll over.
Imaginode does not decide for you: every step is a node you wire, with its price shown before the click. It is less magical and more predictable: you know what you pay, and you redo only the step that failed.

Frequently asked questions
Is an autonomous agent cheaper?
Rarely: every iteration reruns a full chain. A canvas lets you replay only the step concerned.
Is Lovart's free trial enough to judge?
30 credits a day usually cover a single result per the 20 August 2026 records.
Does Imaginode have an automatic mode?
Templates set up a complete canvas in one click, which you then adjust node by node: see [the use cases](/use-cases).
