Krea
Tool · this deep dive is built from the official pages of the platform itself and of the tools that support it.
Overview
Krea is a creative environment with a large set of models under one roof. By the page of capabilities and plans it includes generation of images and video from text, "Realtime Image Generation", "Motion Transfer", three-dimensional objects ("Text to 3D Object", "Image to 3D Object"), increase of resolution, removal of the background, an editor of images, "Frame Interpolation", "Video Style Transfer", "Video Upscaling".
A separate line is fine-tuning to your own needs: "Image LoRA Finetuning", "Video LoRA Finetuning", "LoRA Sharing". Another is the chain assembler "Krea Nodes" with "App Builder" and "Nodes Agent". There is a file manager, an API and MCP. The unit of pricing with such a set is one for everything.
Which platforms it works with
Platforms for publishing the tool does not announce. An API and MCP are announced — as separate sections in the site's table of contents — and the "Krea Asset Manager" for storing files. Export to social networks is not declared; the fact is partial: what are listed are means of embedding, not platforms.
Pricing
On the pricing page there are five plans: Free — "$0/month"; Basic — "$5.25/month"; Pro — "$21/month" (marked "Most popular"); Max — "$63/month"; Business — "$160/month". The currency is US dollars.
Above the table there is a "Monthly / Yearly" switch with the caption "Save 40% on yearly plans". Which of its positions the values taken correspond to does not follow from the markup — the fact is partial for that reason, and the switch is worth checking before payment. Separately "Model Licensing" and "Looking for API?" are announced — they have no prices on the page.
What is free
The Free plan costs "$0/month" and gives 100 units a day. The conversion is done by the page itself: "1 Nano Banana 2 generation" and "<1 Seedance 2.0 videos" a day. Then come the cuts: "Limited LoRA training", "Limited image upscaling" ("Upscale images up to 2K resolution using our basic upscaling models"), for simultaneous tasks "Image concurrency 1" and "Video concurrency 0" — videos are not counted in parallel at all.
And the main thing: the line "Commercial license" in the Free column is marked with a cross, not a tick. A commercial licence the free tier by the table does not give — that matters more than the daily volume.
Restrictions
The unit of the limit is "compute units", and the page itself translates them into a number of generations. Free — "100 units /day", per day, not per month. Basic — "5,000 units /month" ("64 Nano Banana 2 generations", "20 Seedance 2.0 videos"). Pro — "20,000 units /month" (257 and 83). Max — "60,000 units /month" (771 and 250) with a slider "40k / 60k / 80k / 100k".
Concurrency grows with the plan: Free — 1 image and 0 videos, Basic — 4 and 2, Pro — 8 and 4. The bound on fine-tuning is common: "Images per LoRA 50". On the paid plans a relaxation is declared, "Unlimited relaxed generations" — after the units are exhausted the work continues with the tool's own models without count; on what conditions the page does not explain.
Requirements to mark what is machine-made are not in the terms: neither an obligation to label, nor watermarks, nor a mention of C2PA. The nearest thing in sense is the ban on material "which impersonate individuals without their consent (e.g. "deepfakes")", but that is about faking a person, not about labelling.
Rights to the output
Here comes a surprise: the terms do not name you the owner of what is created. There is no direct transfer of rights in the text. There is a different wording: "Krea may allow you to commercialize certain Content generated from the Services, subject to your adherence to our copyright dispute policy and any other restrictions or requirements (including pricing changes) imposed by Krea". "May allow" — may permit, not permits; "certain Content" — some content, not all of it; and subject to any other restrictions of the tool, including changes of prices.
Then comes the licence. What is created falls under "User Submission": "Anything you post, upload, share, store, or otherwise provide or generate through the Services is your "User Submission"". The word "generate" is the key one — what is generated is equated to what is uploaded. And on a "User Submission" the user grants the tool a "worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable and transferable license to use, edit, modify… distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, perform, and otherwise fully exploit", which holds even after the account is closed. On plans without a privacy mode what is created may be visible to other users, to whom a perpetual licence is also granted.
The fact is partial: the rights are not directly transferred to the user, and commercial use is formulated as "Krea may allow". The current text of the terms opens from the address www.krea.ai/terms by a redirect to Notion.
Do they train on your data
The source does not say. Neither the terms nor the privacy policy state whether the models are trained on your material; no opt-out is described either.
The word "train" is not in the text of the policy at all. The nearest thing in sense is about de-identified data: "We may use such aggregated, de-identified or anonymized data… including to analyze, build and improve the Services". That is about generalized information, not about training on your material.
Both pages have been checked. Neither permission nor prohibition follows from this.
How you earn with it
The right to sell what is created is formulated conditionally. The terms say: "Krea may allow you to commercialize certain Content generated from the Services, subject to your adherence to our copyright dispute policy and any other restrictions or requirements (including pricing changes) imposed by Krea". Three reservations in a row: "may allow" — the tool has the right to permit, "certain Content" — not everything created, and adherence to any other requirements, which Krea may change.
The difference by plan is visible right in the table on the pricing page: the row "Commercial license" in the Free column is marked with a cross. A commercial licence is announced as belonging to the paid plans; for the free one it is not in the table.
Over all of this there operates the licence the user grants the tool on a "User Submission", and what is generated is assigned to those outright: "worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable and transferable license". It does not formally stand in the way of a sale, but it does not make your right an exclusive one, and it outlives the closing of the account.
What it will not do
A commercial licence on the free plan it will not give: against "Commercial license" for Free there stands a cross. It will not name you outright the owner of what is created — the terms confine themselves to the wording "Krea may allow you to commercialize certain Content". The licence granted to it it will not give back: it is perpetual and outlives the closing of the account.
More than one picture a day free of charge it will not make, video on Free it will not count in parallel, and it will not let you fine-tune an add-on on a larger set — "Images per LoRA 50" on all plans. It will not publish to social networks itself: what are announced are an API, MCP and file storage. About training on your materials it will say nothing and will not offer an opt-out. It will not oblige you to mark what is machine-made.

About the platform
a creative environment with a set of models: generation of images from text and "Realtime Image Generation", generation of video from text and "Motion Transfer", 3D generation ("Text to 3D Object", "Image to 3D Object"), resolution upscaling, background removal, an image editor, "Frame Interpolation", "Video Style Transfer", "Video Upscaling", fine-tuning for oneself ("Image LoRA Finetuning", "Video LoRA Finetuning", "LoRA Sharing"), the visual chain builder "Krea Nodes" with "App Builder" and "Nodes Agent", a file manager, an API and MCP
the list is from the features sections and from the plan descriptions on the pricing page

Platforms
an API and MCP are announced (separate sections in the site's table of contents), and also the "Krea Asset Manager" for storing files; export to social networks or other publishing platforms is not announced
the ways of embedding are announced, not the publishing platforms

Pricing
the Free plan — "$0/month", the volume "100 units /day", which in the page's own conversion is "1 Nano Banana 2 generation" and "<1 Seedance 2.0 videos" a day; "Limited LoRA training", "Limited image upscaling" with the explanation "Upscale images up to 2K resolution using our basic upscaling models"; concurrent jobs: "Image concurrency 1", "Video concurrency 0"; the "Commercial license" row in the Free column is marked with a cross, not a tick
the unexpected part: on the free plan the commercial licence is not given according to the table
source, checked 2026-08-04
on the pricing page: Free — "$0/month"; Basic — "$5.25/month"; Pro — "$21/month" (marked "Most popular"); Max — "$63/month"; Business — "$160/month"; above the table a "Monthly / Yearly" switch with the caption "Save 40% on yearly plans"; "Model Licensing" and "Looking for API?" are announced separately
the currency is US dollars; which position of the Monthly/Yearly switch the figures taken correspond to does not follow from the markup — most likely the yearly one, but this is not written
source, checked 2026-08-04
$9 a month — the Basic plan (5,000 compute units a month) on MONTHLY billing. By default the page shows the yearly mode with the discount «Save 40% on yearly plans», where the same Basic costs $5.25/month. The next tiers monthly: Pro $35, Max $70, Business $200 (shown in yearly mode as $21, $63 and $160 a month). The currency is USD. There is a free plan — 100 units a day

Limits and restrictions
the unit of the limit is "compute units": Free — "100 units /day"; Basic — "5,000 units /month" ("64 Nano Banana 2 generations", "20 Seedance 2.0 videos"); Pro — "20,000 units /month" ("257 Nano Banana 2 generations", "83 Seedance 2.0 videos"); Max — "60,000 units /month" ("771 Nano Banana 2 generations", "250 Seedance 2.0 videos") with a volume slider "40k / 60k / 80k / 100k"; concurrency: Free — 1 image and 0 videos, Basic — 4 and 2, Pro — 8 and 4; "Images per LoRA 50" on all the plans; the paid ones announce "Unlimited relaxed generations" — carrying on working with one's own models after the units are used up
the limit is counted in compute units, the conversion into generations is given by the page itself

Restrictions
Terms of Use, the «Your Responsibilities» section, verbatim: User Submissions are forbidden which «(i) infringe any third party's copyrights or other rights (e.g., trademark, privacy rights, etc.); (ii) contain sexually explicit content or pornography; (iii) contain hateful, defamatory, or discriminatory content or incite hatred against any individual or group; (iv) exploit minors; (v) depict unlawful acts or extreme violence; (vi) depict animal cruelty or extreme violence towards animals…». A separate list of examples of what is forbidden names: «content demeaning, dehumanizing, or otherwise harmful representations of people or their environments, cultures, religions», «content propagating discriminatory content or harmful stereotypes», «content or actions actively promoting misinformation or disinformation», «actions and content which impersonate individuals without their consent (e.g. deepfakes)», «sexually graphic, pornographic, and lewd content». Real people only with their consent; there are no direct bans on politics or medical advice

Legal
the terms do not call the user the owner of what is created directly. It says: "Krea may allow you to commercialize certain Content generated from the Services, subject to your adherence to our copyright dispute policy and any other restrictions or requirements (including pricing changes) imposed by Krea". At the same time what is created falls under the definition of "User Submission" ("Anything you post, upload, share, store, or otherwise provide or generate through the Services is your “User Submission”"), and for it the user grants the tool a "worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable and transferable license to use, edit, modify, truncate, aggregate, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, perform, and otherwise fully exploit such User Submissions", which stays in force after the account is closed; on the plans without a privacy mode what is created may be visible to other users, who are also granted a perpetual licence
the terms open from the address https://www.krea.ai/terms by a redirect to Notion; the rights to the result are not directly transferred to the user, commercial use is worded as "Krea may allow"
source, checked 2026-08-04
DIFFERS BY PLAN, and that is the main finding. The general Terms of Use (rev. 20 May 2024) say NOTHING AT ALL about training models on user data, although they grant Krea a «worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable and transferable license to use, edit, modify, truncate, aggregate, reproduce... and otherwise fully exploit such User Submissions»; no opt-out for Free/Basic/Pro/Max is provided in them. The separate Business Tier Terms of Service contain a section «Use of Content for Training and Service Improvement» and, verbatim: «No Training on Customer Data: Krea commits that it will NOT use your Inputs or Outputs to train its AI models or algorithms» — the undertaking covers the whole team and survives the end of the subscription. The API has a Zero Data Retention mode (the X-Api-Zero-Data-Retention header), but it is switched on only by writing to sales@krea.ai and only for the Krea 2 models
the general terms are at https://www.krea.ai/terms (a redirect to krea-ai.notion.site), and ZDR at https://www.krea.ai/docs/developers/zdr; the pricing page itself names «no-training clauses for your content» as an advantage of the Business plan, so the absence of such a clause on the lower plans is implied but is nowhere stated outright — hence partial. The terms sit on Notion and return a JS shell in HTML; the text was read through the same host's open JSON krea-ai.notion.site/api/v3/loadPageChunk, and the robots.txt of krea-ai.notion.site was read in full: «User-agent: * / Allow: /»; captchas and tokens were not circumvented
