Leonardo.Ai
AI creative generation and canvas editing platform by Leonardo.Ai (Canva, Australia; 4 visual capabilities benchmarked)
Product node overview & trust baseline
Operator provenance, privacy baseline and site-wide pricing belong directly to the product node and are inherited across linked task edgesLeonardo.Ai, operated by Leonardo Interactive Pty Ltd (Canva Group; Sydney, Australia) under a "Free tier + subscription" model, has 4 published task assessments on RealTest (Object removal 88/100, Image generation 88/100, Background removal 86/100, Image upscaling 78/100). In object removal, free credits deliver full size while preserving unmasked areas well; login and stepwise window alignment on large images add effort and waiting. In image generation, text and counts perform well with watermark-free exports using free credits; login is required, free results are public, and privacy and deletion require an upgrade.
Sydney, Australia · 2022–Present
Provenance baseline: 17.6/20 · Operated by Leonardo Interactive Pty Ltd (Sydney, Australia; part of Canva Group), with built-in Edit in Canva / Magic Layers integration.
The app payment panel confirms personal annual prices of $120/$288/$576, differing from earlier rounded monthly equivalents on the marketing site. Public plans permit paid users to buy top-ups without quoting pack prices or per-removal token cost. Unlimited relaxed generation does not establish unlimited removal.

Peer product comparison across shared task edges
Matched by overlapping tested task edges; compare site-wide billing models alongside per-task benchmark scoresThe official pricing page and credit table state that guests get 5 free runs and registered Free accounts receive 10 one-time Nero Credits (Standard/Photo/Anime 2× costs 1 credit/image, 4× costs 2 credits/image, paid-only 8× costs 4 credits/image). Standard monthly is USD 21.95/month promotional (regular USD 24.99/month, 300 credits/month). The yearly promo banner displays only "7.66 USD per month" (3,000 credits/year) without printing the annual invoice total before login, so the annual total is marked unverified.
