How they differ
How each one works, from its own docs.
Draw-and-see Realtime generation and training a model on your own art style in one app, with many image models side by side. Midjourney is for mood and style exploration; ChatGPT is for precise edits to existing images.
Best for: Pre-production concept art: characters, environments and prop variations in a consistent game style.
Organised by game asset type rather than open prompting, and chains an image into sprites, 3D and video; also has a Game Ideator. Midjourney is open-ended art with no asset types.
Best for: Small teams making 2D game-ready assets and quick prototypes end to end, plus early game-concept brainstorming.

Krea's pricing FAQ says Basic, Pro, Max, Business and Enterprise plans include a commercial licence to use generated content for commercial purposes 'without restrictions'. Its Terms of Use (last updated 20 May 2024) are softer: Krea 'may allow you to commercialize certain Content' subject to your tier, and 'reserves the right to modify the terms of commercial use' at any time. Free-plan commercial use isn't stated clearly. source
FAQ: the person who initiates a generation is recognized as the full owner of that content and can export and use it as they see fit. source
