Which one should you pick?
Leonardo.Ai
Worth it when you need many images that look like a set. For one-off images the extra workflow is overhead.
- Game asset sets needing visual consistency
Stable Diffusion
The choice when volume, privacy or precise control matter more than convenience. For occasional images, a hosted service costs less than the time spent setting this up.
- High-volume generation where per-image cost adds up
- Work that cannot leave your own machine
