How they differ
How each one works, from its own docs.
Keeps one approved character at the centre of its props, scenes and animations, and animates it from a continuous motion clip whose frames you choose afterwards. PixelLab builds animations from text or skeleton poses; Retro Diffusion locks output to pixel grids and palettes.
Best for: 2D indie game art: a character, matching props and scenes, and its move set exported as sprite sheets.
Built around training a model on your own art and running it next to third-party models, so one look carries across images, textures and 3D. Midjourney and ChatGPT cannot be fine-tuned on your art set.
Best for: Producing many consistent assets in your studio's trained style, including tileable PBR textures and image-to-3D props, after the look is set.

MotifDeck marks its Terms and Asset License as drafts: company details and governing law are not yet complete. The draft Asset License lets you use paid outputs in personal, game-jam and commercial game projects, subject to plan and model terms. Commercial terms for Free outputs are "not yet complete", so Free outputs get no commercial-use permission. source
All paid plans include a full commercial license; free plan outputs are for personal and evaluation use only (per pricing FAQ). 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.
