Leonardo AI Pricing at a Glance
When verified on April 13, 2026, Leonardo's pricing page displayed a yearly billing toggle with up to 20% off and listed four Solo plans, two Team plans, and separate API pricing. Leonardo is best understood as a hybrid pricing model because it mixes subscription plans, token allowances, seat-based team pricing, and usage-based API billing.
Option | Displayed price | Included usage | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
Free | $0 | 150 fast tokens/day; 150 token bank | Casual testing |
Essential | $12/mo | 8,500 fast tokens/mo; 25,500 token bank | Hobbyists |
Premium | $30/mo | 25,000 fast tokens/mo; 75,000 token bank | Frequent creators |
Ultimate | $60/mo | 60,000 fast tokens/mo; 180,000 token bank | Professional creators |
Solo Plans
The Free plan is enough to learn the product, but it limits privacy and capacity. Essential adds private generations, enhanced quality, 10 personal AI models, two simultaneous generations, and top-up tokens. Premium adds unlimited relaxed image generation on selected models. Ultimate is the first solo plan that adds unlimited relaxed video generation on selected models.
Team and API Pricing
Team pricing is displayed per seat and as a total plan price. Starter showed $72 per month total and $24 per seat, while Growth showed $144 per month total and $48 per seat. The self-serve API is separate from creator subscriptions and starts with $5 in API credit, no commitments, automatic top-ups, and up to 10 concurrent generations.
Option | Displayed price | Included usage | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Starter Team | $72/mo total; $24/seat | 75,000 shared tokens; 25,000 fast tokens/seat | Unlimited relaxed image and video on selected models |
Growth Team | $144/mo total; $48/seat | 180,000 shared tokens; 60,000 fast tokens/seat | Adds team token training |
API Pay As You Go | Starts with $5 credit | Usage-based billing | Up to 10 concurrent generations; credit does not expire |
API Custom | Contact sales | Custom | Higher concurrency, discounts, dedicated support |
What to Watch
Leonardo's pricing is not unlimited across every model. The pricing page specifically says unlimited relaxed generation applies only to selected models, including Lucid Origin, Lucid Realism, Phoenix 1.0, Phoenix 0.9, Motion 1.0, Motion 2.0, and Motion 2.0 Fast. Many third-party models still use tokens every time, so the real cost depends on which models you choose.
Taxes are listed separately, and the verified page was showing the yearly billing view. An editor should confirm the current monthly-billed figures if ToolColumn wants both cadences displayed side by side.
Bottom Line
Leonardo is competitively priced for creators who will use its broader workflow tools, especially Premium or Ultimate. It becomes less predictable for heavy use of premium third-party models or production API workloads, where token spend and pay-as-you-go billing matter more than the headline subscription price.
