No free plan. The cheapest way in is paid plan at varies. Consider free alternatives in the ai image generation category if budget is tight.
Based on a verified visit to muse.ai in May 2026, the domain now redirects to Skiv (skiv.com), a video hosting and embed player platform — not an AI art generator. The Skiv homepage displays an explicit rebrand banner reading "muse.ai is now Skiv (skiv.com)" and the entire site is dedicated to video hosting, video search, auto-transcription, and screen recording. We could not locate any AI image generation product at this URL, nor any independent reviews of one. Treat this listing as unverified and consider alternatives like Clipdrop, Leonardo AI, or Playground AI.
Directory data claims the tool is built on Stable Diffusion XL 1.0 (SDXL), an open-source model released by Stability AI in July 2023. SDXL contains approximately 6.6 billion parameters across its base U-Net and refiner, uses a dual text encoder system (OpenCLIP ViT-bigG and CLIP ViT-L), and produces native 1024x1024 output. These facts about SDXL itself are well-documented, but the claim that this specific tool uses SDXL cannot be independently verified because the product does not appear to exist at the listed domain.
A direct comparison is not possible because the service cannot be verified. As a hypothetical comparison: Midjourney charges $10–$60/month and reportedly has over 16M registered users as of 2024, known for distinctive aesthetic quality. DALL-E 3 requires a $20/month ChatGPT Plus subscription and excels at conversational prompting and in-image text rendering. The unverified Muse listing claims free browser-based SDXL access, which — if real — would be cheaper than both, but with a feature set (text-to-image, negative prompts, presets) that lags 2026 standards by roughly three years.
Pricing is listed as "Unknown" in our directory because no pricing page, sign-up flow, or product page for an AI art generator exists at muse.ai — the domain now serves the Skiv video hosting platform. If you specifically want a free SDXL tool with confirmed pricing, Clipdrop offers a free tier with watermark ($9/month Pro), Leonardo AI offers 150 free daily tokens (~30 images/day), and Playground AI offers 500 free images per day. All three are verified, actively maintained, and have public user bases.
For a verified free SDXL experience, Clipdrop (by Stability AI) is the most direct equivalent — it ships with same-day SDXL model updates and offers background removal and upscaling beyond text-to-image. Leonardo AI is the best choice if you want a community gallery, LoRA fine-tuning, and a generous free tier. Playground AI offers 500 free daily images with a clean interface. For higher aesthetic quality, Midjourney ($10/month minimum) or Adobe Firefly (free with 25 monthly credits, or via Creative Cloud) are stronger choices. Based on our analysis of 870+ AI tools, any of these will be a safer bet than an unverified listing.
