# Leonardo.Ai vs imagine

Leonardo.Ai and imagine both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of imagine's written reviews are positive against 54% of Leonardo.Ai's. Leonardo.Ai's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 9) and chart position (#24 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Leonardo.Ai sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $15.99 per month and imagine sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

imagine holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Leonardo.Ai has 11K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of Leonardo.Ai's written reviews are positive against 100% of imagine's.

Leonardo.Ai ships an update every 6 days, imagine every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
