Adobe Firefly
Pros
- + Standard image features (Generative Fill, moodboards) are unmetered on paid plans — my credit counter barely moved during image-only sessions
- + Only generator I tested that produces editable vector output via the Firefly Vector Model in Illustrator
- + Content Credentials metadata and the Do Not Train tag attach to outputs, which is the provenance story enterprise buyers ask for
- + Partner models from Google, OpenAI, Flux and Kling sit inside the same credit wallet as Adobe's own models
- + Generative Extend in Premiere Pro filled a short interview clip tail in one pass in my testing
Cons
- - Video work burns credits fast: 2,000 credits is only about 20 five-second clips per Adobe's own plan table
- - Credits never roll over between billing cycles
- - Aesthetic ceiling on photoreal and stylized images trails Midjourney on hard prompts
- - Top unlimited Firefly Video Model access sits at US$199.99/month, far above the entry tier
- - Requires an Adobe account and works best when you already pay for Creative Cloud
Figma AI
Pros
- + Transparent, documented credit costs per AI feature (help.figma.com) — I could budget a working session within a few credits of the actual burn
- + Figma agent scaffolds single screens with real auto-layout and sensible states in under a minute in my test, inside the file you are already working in
- + Figma Make produced a genuinely interactive, state-handling prototype from a text description — the fastest such workflow I have tested
- + Every seat on every plan includes AI credits, and low-level utilities (AI search, layer renaming) are free
- + One Full seat now spans Design, Dev Mode, FigJam, Slides, Sites and Make (figma.com/pricing), which is unusually good value at US$16/month annual
Cons
- - Credit ceilings pinch fast on Figma Make — a full generated app runs 100+ credits against a 3,000/month Professional allowance (brainstormer.ai estimates, matching my burn rate)
- - Agent output styled sensibly but did not reliably use our library components, so design-system pass was still needed
- - Image generation runs on third-party models (OpenAI/Google per help docs), so output style and licensing are outside Figma
- - Starter's 150-credit daily cap ran out mid-afternoon during one of my test days
- - Several headline surfaces (Figma Buzz, Figma Specs, parts of the agent) are beta and behave provisionally
