Krea vs Unity AI
Concept art & 2D assets · checked · Compare different tools
Krea ranks higher in Concept art & 2D assets (#9 vs #14). How we score
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.
Unity's own scene-aware agent plus asset generators, all inside the Unity Editor. Ludus AI and Ultimate Engine CoPilot are the Unreal counterparts. Claude Code, Cursor and Copilot edit code files but don't drive the Editor.
Best for: Unity teams that want to prototype scenes, write gameplay scripts and make 2D, audio and animation assets without leaving the Editor.
Krea
Unity AI
Web app (also an iOS app), plugins for Photoshop, Illustrator and Blender, an API and an MCP server
Package inside the Unity Editor (Unity 6+). Also a Unity CLI, an MCP server, and a plugin that gives outside coding agents Unity skills.
A text prompt, reference images, a rough drawing in Realtime, or your own images to train a style
Chat prompts with screenshots, Hierarchy objects and Console errors. Text or reference images for generators. Text or video for animation.
Images, upscales; also video and textured 3D models (GLB, OBJ, FBX) from third-party models
C# scripts, Editor changes to scenes and objects, plus generated sprites, textures, PBR materials, terrain layers, simple 3D props, sound clips and animation clips.
Choice of model (Krea 3 and others), trained LoRA styles, moodboards and node workflows
Ask, Plan and Agent modes. Lite, Default and Ultra model tiers. Permission levels, skills, custom tools, MCP. Per-generator model, resolution and reference settings.
Realtime renders update as you draw; edit images with words; chain steps in Nodes
Chat follow-ups, revise and approve Plan-mode plans, restore checkpoints, and regenerate or upscale assets in the Generator window and Generations panel.

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
Unity's AI Guiding Principles say you own your input and output data, regardless of the partner model used, and that you're responsible for making sure generated assets don't infringe third-party rights. Using the generators is also governed by third-party terms (Layer, Scenario, Uthana). Generated assets carry "UnityAI" metadata. Commercial-use terms for outputs aren't stated separately. source
Rows marked ● differ between the two tools. Licence badges: green = commercial use allowed (including any free plan or trial), amber = paid plans only, restricted, or allowed but with no free plan, red = not allowed, grey = not stated by vendor or not applicable. Read the vendor's current terms before you ship.
