All Krea facts below come from Krea's own pricing page and blog, read on 2026-10-25. Oakgen is our product. Its plan prices come from Oakgen's pricing page on 2026-10-30 and its credit costs from Oakgen's pricing code on 2026-10-25. We did not run a cost benchmark across Krea's models, and Krea can change model prices at any time.
What does each Krea plan cost?
The table shows Krea's plans as its pricing page listed them on 2026-10-25. Max and Business let you pick a larger unit amount, and the price shown is for the default.
| Plan | Monthly price | Annual price per month | Compute units | Main inclusions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | 100 a day | Limited model access, LoRA training with 50 images, upscaling to 2K. No commercial license |
| Basic | $9 | $5.25 | 5,000 a month | All image models, selected Seedance video models, LoRA training with 50 images, upscaling to 22K, Krea Nodes, commercial license |
| Pro | $35 | $21 | 20,000 a month | All video models including Veo 3.1, Seedance and Kling, App Builder |
| Max | $105 | $63 | 60,000 a month (40,000 to 100,000 selectable) | LoRA training with 2,000 images, unlimited relaxed generations, Krea 3 Ultra |
| Business | $200 | $160 | 80,000 a month (selectable) | Up to 50 seats at no extra cost per seat, rollover, no-training terms |
| Enterprise | Contact Krea | Contact Krea | Custom | Custom |
Krea advertises "Save 40% with annual". That matches Pro and Max. Business works out to 20% off, and the Basic card showed $5 while the annual table showed $5.25, so check the checkout total before you commit to a year.
What are Krea compute units?
Compute units are one allowance spent across Krea's tools. A fast image uses a few units, a premium video uses many more, and LoRA training, upscaling and editing each have their own rate. Krea prints its own estimates on the pricing page.
| Plan | Units a month | Nano Banana 2 images (Krea's estimate) | Videos (Krea's estimate) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | 5,000 | about 112 | about 15 Seedance 2.0 Fast |
| Pro | 20,000 | 450 | about 65 Seedance 2.5 |
| Max | 60,000 | 1,350 | about 197 Seedance 2.5 |
Krea does not state the resolution or clip length behind these estimates. Before you buy, open the model you plan to use and note the unit cost Krea shows for your settings.
Do Krea compute units roll over?
Not on the plans most people buy. Krea's pricing FAQ says "Basic, Pro, and Max plans allocate compute units monthly and they do not roll over." Business and Enterprise allow rollover with a set rollover period. Extra unit packs come in 2,000 to 50,000 units, and Krea says they "expire after 90 days". Pack prices show only after you sign in.
How do you budget compute units for a month?
Multiply the outputs you need by the attempts each one takes and the units per attempt.
Monthly units = approved outputs x attempts per approval x units per attempt
Then add units for upscaling, training and revisions.
For example, 12 approved clips at three attempts each, on a setting that costs 500 units, is 18,000 units before upscales. That workload already needs Pro rather than Basic. The 500-unit figure is an example, not a Krea price. Replace it with the number your account shows.
| Task | Approved outputs | Attempts each | Units per attempt | Monthly units |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image drafts | ||||
| Final images | ||||
| Video clips | ||||
| Upscales | ||||
| LoRA training |
Fill it in with one real campaign, including the attempts you threw away.
Which Krea plan fits which user?
Match the plan to the most expensive thing you do every week.
- Free. Trying Krea and Krea 3. No commercial license, so not for client work.
- Basic. Image-first work with occasional Seedance 2, Seedance 2.0 Fast or Seedance Mini video, plus Nodes and LoRA training on up to 50 images.
- Pro. Weekly video work on Seedance 2.5, Kling or Veo 3.1, and App Builder.
- Max. Daily production. Unlimited relaxed generations let you keep making images with Krea's in-house image models after your units run out, and LoRA training takes up to 2,000 images.
- Business. Teams that need shared seats, unit rollover and no-training terms.
Krea's newest in-house model is Krea 3, announced on 2026-10-15. Krea says it makes "edits in under 8 seconds at native 2K". Krea 3 Ultra needs Max or above.

How does Krea compare with Oakgen and Midjourney?
The three use different units, so compare the cost of the same output, not the headline number.
| Krea | Oakgen | Midjourney | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unit | Compute units | Credits | GPU time |
| Entry price | $9 a month, 5,000 units | $19 a month, 4,000 credits | $10 a month, 3.3 fast hours |
| Free plan | 100 units a day | None | None listed |
| Rollover | Business and Enterprise only | Add-on credits only, plan credits reset monthly | Not stated |
| Unlimited slow mode | Max and above (in-house image models) | No | Standard and above (images) |
Prices for Krea and Midjourney are from their own pages read on 2026-10-25. Midjourney lists Basic $10, Standard $30, Pro $60 and Mega $120 a month, with 20% off on annual plans.
On a like-for-like image, Krea's own estimate is cheaper. Krea says its $9 Basic covers about 112 Nano Banana 2 images, or about 8 cents each. On Oakgen, a Nano Banana 2 image at 1K costs 28 credits, so Oakgen's $19 Basic with 4,000 credits covers about 142, or about 13 cents each. Oakgen's credit costs for each model are in our pricing guide.
When is Krea the better buy?
Krea is the better buy in four cases.
- You want a free tier. Krea Free has 100 units a day. Oakgen has no free plan.
- You train LoRAs or build Nodes workflows. Oakgen does not offer LoRA training or a node editor.
- You make many images on one model. Max's unlimited relaxed generations and Krea's per-image estimates beat Oakgen's per-image credits for Nano Banana 2.
- You need upscaling to 22K. Krea lists it from Basic.
Oakgen is the better fit when you want image, video, voice and music on one credit balance with add-on credits that never expire, and a cost shown before every generation. Compare Krea and Midjourney, read the Krea 3 guide, or see Oakgen vs Higgsfield vs Krea for a job-by-job view.
What mistakes do people make with Krea pricing?
- Dividing the plan price by total units. That gives a price per unit, not per approved asset.
- Leaving out training and upscaling. They spend the same units.
- Buying annual for one project. The 40% saving only pays off if you use Krea all year.
- Expecting units to carry over. They expire monthly on Basic, Pro and Max, and packs expire after 90 days.
