Visual Electric has a clear idea: an infinite canvas for designers, where you generate, crop, iterate and compare images without leaving the surface. The ergonomics are careful and the community loyal.
The pricing is simple: free with 40 generations a day under a personal licence, Premium from $16 a month with a commercial licence, Pro at $48 for private images and a priority queue. Credits are called volts.
The fundamental difference is scope: Visual Electric is an image tool. Imaginode covers image, video, text and voice in the same node canvas, with 48 models and a price shown before every generation.
