In the world of AI art, two names are dominating the conversation in 2025: Percify and Leonardo.Ai. Both offer incredible features, but they target very different users.
Leonardo.Ai started as a game asset generator and evolved into a full creative suite. Percify burst onto the scene with a focus on "One-Click Professionalism."
We spent 40 hours testing both. Here is the verdict.
1. Interface & Ease of Use
Leonardo.Ai
Leonardo is powerful, but it's cluttered. When you open the dashboard, you are bombarded with options: "Alchemy," "Prompt Magic," "PhotoReal," "Elements." For a pro, this is heaven. For a beginner, it's a cockpit.
Verdict: High learning curve.
Percify
Percify takes the Apple approach. The interface is clean, minimal, and intuitive. You don't need to know what a "scheduler" or "guidance scale" is. You just pick a vibe (e.g., "Cinematic") and type.
Verdict: The winner for usability.
2. Image Quality & Consistency
Leonardo.Ai
Leonardo shines in fantasy and RPG styles. Its "RPG v5" model is legendary for creating D&D characters. However, it sometimes struggles with photorealism, often giving skin a "waxy" video game look.
Percify
Percify's "Realism Engine" is unmatched. It produces skin textures, lighting, and eyes that are indistinguishable from a Sony A7R photo. If you need headshots or stock photos, Percify wins.
3. Feature Set
| Feature | Percify | Leonardo.Ai |
|---|---|---|
| Text-to-Image | ✅ Excellent | ✅ Excellent |
| Inpainting | ✅ Native | ✅ Native |
| Training Models | ✅ (Personas) | ✅ (Fine-tuned Models) |
| Video Gen | ❌ (Coming Soon) | ✅ (Motion) |
| Commercial Rights | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
4. Pricing
Leonardo.Ai: Uses a token system. You get 150 free tokens a day, but high-end features (like Alchemy) cost way more tokens. It can get expensive fast if you are a power user.
Percify: Uses a flat subscription model with unlimited generations on the Pro plan. No math required. You just create.
Conclusion: Which should you choose?
Choose Leonardo.Ai if:
- You are a game developer making fantasy assets.
- You want to tweak every single parameter (steps, seed, sampler).
- You need short video clips (Motion).
Choose Percify if:
- You want photorealistic results for business or social media.
- You want a simple, clean workflow.
- You hate counting tokens.
- You need consistent characters without the headache.
