What is Leonardo.Ai?
Leonardo.Ai is an image and video generation platform with its own model line, a canvas editor, model training and community features, sold through token-based plans (Leonardo.Ai). Canva announced its acquisition of Leonardo.Ai on July 30, 2024 (Canva newsroom). People look elsewhere when they want fewer settings, a known third-party model, or a price per image rather than a monthly token budget.
Image models you can run in UniqAI
| Model | Maker | Cost per image | Aspect ratios | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flux Schnell | Black Forest Labs | 3Gems | 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9, 3:2 | Fast drafts and text-to-image |
| Nano Banana | 12Gems | 1:1 | Photo edits that keep the rest of the picture | |
| FLUX 1.1 Pro | Black Forest Labs | 18 Gems (paid plan) | 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9, 3:2 | Detail and prompt accuracy |
Cost per image, shown before you generate. All three accept a source photo as well as text. A new account starts with 30 Gems.
Which model replaces what?
For concept art, illustration and quick drafts from text, start with Flux Schnell at 3 Gems and move to FLUX 1.1 Pro (18 Gems, paid plan) when detail matters. For editing a photo you already have, such as a new outfit, background or era, use Nano Banana at 12 Gems; it keeps the rest of the picture close to the original. Every model accepts a source image, so a Leonardo image-to-image workflow carries over.
Prompts to try on Flux
Isometric illustration of a tiny greenhouse on a floating island, glass panels catching late sun, moss and copper pipes, soft gradient sky, clean vector-like edges.
Run on Flux SchnellOil-painting portrait of an adult woman in a mustard raincoat, loose visible brushstrokes, muted teal background, Rembrandt lighting, canvas texture.
Run on Flux SchnellWhat UniqAI does not have
No custom model training, no canvas or inpainting editor, no community feed, no upscaler as a separate tool and no API. Nano Banana outputs square images only. If those are the reasons you use Leonardo, it remains the better fit. UniqAI's advantages are the short list of named models, the visible cost per image, and video and chat in the same account.

Questions about Leonardo AI Alternative
Is Leonardo AI free?
Leonardo.Ai sells token-based plans; whether a no-cost tier exists and what it includes is set on Leonardo's own pricing page, so check there. UniqAI prices each image instead: 3 Gems on Flux Schnell, 12 on Nano Banana, 18 on FLUX 1.1 Pro (paid plan). A new account starts with 30 Gems.
Will my Leonardo prompts work here?
Mostly yes. Subject, style and lighting words carry over to Flux and Nano Banana. Leonardo-specific settings such as presets, elements or a trained model do not; describe the look in words instead. Run the prompt on two models and compare before you settle.
Can I train my own model or style?
No. UniqAI runs the three listed models as they are, with no training, LoRA or style upload. For a consistent look, keep a fixed prompt prefix and reuse it, or edit an existing photo with Nano Banana so the subject stays the same.
Which model is cheapest for art?
Flux Schnell at 3 Gems per image. It is fast, accepts five aspect ratios and takes a source image too. FLUX 1.1 Pro (18 Gems, paid plan) is the step up for detail and prompt accuracy; Nano Banana (12 Gems) is the pick when you are editing a photo rather than creating from scratch.
Is there a UniqAI app?
UniqAI runs in the browser on desktop and mobile, with nothing to install. An iPhone app is planned and this site will say when it is on the App Store. There is no Android app.
Coming soon to the App Store for iPhone
