Khroma
Pros
- + Personalisation is genuine: my warm and cold trained profiles produced visibly non-overlapping colour streams across hundreds of generated pairs
- + WCAG contrast ratings sit next to every saved pair and changed my picks several times in testing — the most decision-useful feature in the tool
- + Four preview formats (palette, gradient, typography, custom image) let me judge a pair in context without leaving the browser
- + Search by hex/RGB plus hue, tint and value filters let me generate around a fixed brand colour instead of starting from nothing
- + Completely free with no paid tier or account wall (khroma.co)
Cons
- - No direct export to Figma, Sketch, Canva or design tokens — values are copied by hand or via the downloaded data file
- - Favourites live in browser storage; I lost one library to cleared site data before I started downloading the data file each session
- - Colour pairs only — no team sharing, no brand locking, no shared model for a brand palette
- - Accessibility check covers text-pair contrast only, not colour-blindness or wider WCAG criteria
- - Free indie project with feedback-form support only; no SLA, no published maintenance cadence
Thinkdiffusion
Pros
- + In my testing a TURBO ComfyUI machine was running a community workflow within a couple of minutes of sign-up — Manager present, custom nodes installing normally, zero CUDA work
- + Real unrestricted tooling: Automatic1111, ComfyUI, Fooocus, Forge (Flux) and Kohya for LoRA training, with any model uploadable in one click from Civitai, Hugging Face or local files
- + Transparent pricing — QUICK $0.99/hr, TURBO $1.75/hr, ULTRA $2.50/hr standard ($0.79/$1.49/$1.99 on TD-Pro) — matching RunComfy's listed rates per a 14 Oct 2026 third-party comparison
- + My Files (24/7 file management without launching a machine) and auto-stop timers address the two real cost traps of cloud GPU work
- + Dedicated per-user GPUs and drives, unlimited parallel machines in separate tabs, and an EDU program that waives the $59.99 platform fee for institutions
Cons
- - Bills the whole session, not active run time — a machine idling while you read a tutorial burns money, unlike Comfy Cloud's run-time-only billing
- - Hobby tier is storage-starved: 10GB with 48-hour persistence and file access only while a machine is active; one Flux checkpoint nearly fills it
- - Machine hours stack on top of subscriptions, so heavy rendering produces an open-ended bill despite the $10–$20 monthly credits
- - No hardware above 48GB listed at time of writing (an 80GB tier is marked coming soon), where RunComfy lists A100/H100/H200 class machines
- - ComfyUI and Kohya assume real technical familiarity — only Fooocus is beginner-friendly, and some custom nodes need support-installed dependencies
