Pricing Plans	8 tiers	8 tiers
Starting Price
Key Features	• Text-to-image generation across 15+ models • Text-to-video and image-to-video generation • 4K image upscaling	• Local recording in up to 4K video and 48kHz lossless audio • Separate audio and video tracks for each participant • Up to 8 remote guests plus 1000 livestream viewers

✓Aggregates 15+ frontier models (GPT Image 2, FLUX.2, Ideogram v3, Recraft V4, and leading video models) under one subscription instead of paying each provider separately
✓Workflows feature lets users chain nodes together for repeatable cinematic pipelines, comparable to ComfyUI but cloud-hosted with no setup
✓Unlimited generation tier available for flagship models like GPT Image 2 and ImagineArt 2.0
✓Native team collaboration with member invites, shared creation libraries, and the dedicated Teams plan
✓Cross-platform availability with web, iOS, and Android apps using a synced asset library
✓Built-in Chatly productivity suite bundles docs, chat, slides, sheets, and research with image/video generation

✗Constantly shifting model lineup means specific models you rely on may be deprecated or moved behind higher tiers
✗Aggregator model means feature depth per model is shallower than going to the original provider (e.g., Runway, Midjourney native)
✗Heavy reliance on credits/quotas for non-unlimited tiers can make budgeting unpredictable for high-volume users
✗Output quality and latency depend on the underlying third-party model APIs, which ImagineArt does not control
✗Pricing for Teams is gated behind contact-sales, reducing transparency for organizations evaluating the platform

✓Records locally on each participant's device, delivering broadcast-quality output even when internet connections are unstable
✓Captures up to 4K video and 48kHz uncompressed WAV audio with separate tracks per guest, giving full control in post-production
✓Built-in AI Magic Editor, transcription in 100+ languages, and automated clip generation eliminate the need for separate editing tools
✓Supports up to 8 remote guests plus livestreaming to platforms like YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter, Twitch, and Facebook with up to 1000 audience viewers
✓Free plan includes 2 hours of recording per month, making it usable for hobbyist creators before committing to paid tiers
✓Founded in 2019 and backed by venture funding, with a customer base that includes media companies and enterprise teams according to its website

✗Local recording requires a stable computer with sufficient storage; older laptops or slow disks can cause uploads to lag for hours after the session
✗Browser-based recording works best in Chrome and Edge; Safari and mobile browser experiences are more limited
✗AI features and unlimited recording are gated behind the Pro tier (~$24/month), making true power-use noticeably more expensive than the free plan suggests
✗Editing tools, while improving, are still less sophisticated than dedicated NLEs like Premiere or Descript's text-based editor for long-form projects
✗Guests must download files locally, so very long sessions on low-storage devices can fail or drop tracks if disk space runs out
