What is this tool?

Hobbyists and creators who steer an image's look by choosing a model can work through a large library of community models and LoRAs, or train their own, without a local GPU, and finish images with the built-in editing tools. Two limits shape the decision: SeaArt's terms allow only G-rated creation, enforced by a strict filter, and its own pages disagree on paid daily Stamina, the free allowance and whether purchased Credits expire, so the capacity of the larger plans cannot be pinned down before paying.

Read full overview

Image work starts by choosing a model, which largely sets the style, then writing a prompt and setting parameters; Classic Mode adds image-to-image and ControlNet beside the editing tools. Models are hosted by SeaArt, so no local GPU is needed, and you can train your own LoRA on the same account, which works in desktop and mobile browsers and in apps for iPhone and iPad (iOS or iPadOS 16.4 or later) and Android. SeaArt presents itself as an all-in-one creation platform, so the account also covers video generation, chat with AI characters, user-built AI apps and a public community where works, prompts and models are shared, subject to each creator's permissions.

Free accounts generate from a daily Stamina allowance and can run 2 tasks at once. The four SVIP plans - Beginner, Standard, Professional and Master - are billed monthly or yearly and renew until cancelled; they add Quality Mode, a faster generation channel, private works and a priority queue for LoRA training, and Free Creation - image generation that spends no Credits or Stamina except on some models (the pricing page names HiDream, SeaArt Film and Illustrious 3.5, and says new models can take time to be added) - which the yearly plan cards list from Standard up, Beginner's card showing a metered image estimate instead. Daily Stamina for the paid plans is stated two ways on the pricing page itself: its plan cards give Standard 1,800, Professional 4,000 and Master 12,000 a day, while its FAQ gives Standard 700 and Professional 2,100 and lists several Master levels, and the help guide lists unlabelled VIP levels that include 700 and 2,100. Credits can be bought in packs.

SVIP plans renew until cancelled, from Subscription Management in the Mall or in the payment channel, and benefits run to the end of the paid period. The terms say membership is non-refundable once taken and that charges taken before a cancellation completes are not refunded; the pricing FAQ adds that a converted 3-day trial charge is not refunded.

Other users' public works may be used only for personal, non-commercial purposes unless their creator grants more. The terms restrict creation to G-rated material and prohibit images of public figures and uploads of people without their consent; the vendor FAQ says NSFW content is filtered by AI and human review, that misjudgments can happen, and that mistaken flags are appealed through customer service.

The privacy policy says facial feature data used by face-swap and video features is not stored, that personal data is shared with related group companies and service partners and kept until the end of its life cycle, and that you can delete your account from its settings. Neither the privacy policy (effective July 7, 2025) nor the terms of service (effective July 19, 2025) says whether prompts, uploads or generated images are used to train SeaArt's models. The home FAQ says you can keep creations private or share them, while the pricing page lists private works as an SVIP feature.

Choose this if
  • You control style by choosing among community-shared models and LoRAs, or by training a LoRA on your own reference images, and do not want to run Stable Diffusion on your own hardware
  • You build an image in stages - image-to-image, ControlNet, outpainting, face and hand repair - and want those tools beside the generator
  • You generate in small daily batches that a free allowance refilling every day can cover
  • You want node-based ComfyUI workflows, or want an AI agent or terminal to generate images from your SeaArt account
Consider alternatives if
  • Your work involves mature or public-figure imagery: the terms allow G-rated creation only and bar images of public figures, and ten YouTube commenters say the filter also blocked or blurred their own generations
  • You need to know your monthly capacity before paying: the pricing page's plan cards and its own FAQ give different daily Stamina for Standard, Professional and Master, and the pricing page and help guide disagree on the free allowance and on whether Credits expire
  • You need a statement on whether your prompts and images train SeaArt's models; neither the privacy policy nor the terms of service addresses it
  • You want a firm price in your own currency before checkout: the web Mall calls its displayed prices estimates that move with exchange rates and excludes tax, and the iOS App Store lists its own in-app prices
  • You may want your money back: the terms rule out refunds once a membership is taken, the pricing FAQ says the same of a converted trial charge, and two YouTube commenters describe charges after a trial or an automatic yearly renewal

What people say

Aggregate community sentiment, summarized — not native reviews.

Common criticisms

In YouTube comments from 2023 to 2026, thirteen commenters under eight videos complain about the content filter or SeaArt's content rules: ten say it blocked, blurred or hid their own generations, including, for one, images made as safe for work, and four say it became stricter over time. Six commenters under five videos complain about cost: that failed or filtered generations still used up credits, that results were unpredictable for the price, that a model's per-image cost went up, or that training a LoRA on the FLUX model costs too much. Three commenters describe trouble leaving a subscription: one says charges continued after a free trial and that the plan cannot be cancelled even by deleting the account, one that a yearly plan renewed automatically and the only option offered was to renew again, and one, in the same comment posted three times under two videos, says SeaArt prevents customers from unsubscribing.

Key features

What you can actually do with this tool.

Model choice sets the style

You pick a built-in or community model, write a prompt with weights and a negative prompt, set the parameters and generate. Any image in the community feed can be remixed by reusing its prompt and parameters in one click.

Image-to-image, ControlNet and editing

Classic Mode covers text-to-image, image-to-image and ControlNet. Editing tools extend an image outward, swap faces, upscale, repair faces and hands, remove backgrounds and apply filters.

Train your own LoRA

Any user can train a Stable Diffusion-based LoRA online, paying Credits by the job's complexity and duration; the guide recommends a varied dataset of around 30 images. Trained models can stay private, go public, or be sold to other users, with the creator receiving 70% of the price set.

Stamina first, then Credits

Each generation spends daily Stamina first and Credits after. Stamina resets at 0:00 UTC and cannot be carried over; Credits accumulate. Most image models charge 6 per standard image and the app shows each model's actual cost; when both balances run out, generation stops.

ComfyUI and a command-line route

Node-based ComfyUI workflows run inside the web app, with free daily ComfyUI time that varies by plan. A command-line tool, with MCP and agent-skill options, lets a terminal or an AI agent generate from your signed-in SeaArt account.

Frequently asked

Common questions about this tool, answered.

Is SeaArt AI free to use?

Yes, within a daily Stamina allowance that refills each day and cannot be carried over; SeaArt's pages give different figures for it: 130 Stamina a day on the pricing page, 150 in the help guide. Most image models charge 6 per standard image, free accounts run 2 tasks at a time, and Quality Mode and private works come with the paid SVIP plans, whose yearly cards list Free Creation from Standard up.

Can I use SeaArt images commercially?

SeaArt's pricing FAQ and help guide say you own what you generate and that commercial use is not prohibited, at your own risk. You need rights to your inputs, the models you use and any third-party elements, and community models can carry their own usage permissions. Anything you make public is licensed to SeaArt, its affiliates and other users.

What happens when the 3-day SVIP trial ends?

It converts to a paid subscription, possibly a few hours before the three days are up, and the pricing FAQ advises cancelling at least a day ahead. Once the charge goes through, SeaArt does not refund it.

Do purchased Credits expire?

SeaArt's own pages disagree. The pricing FAQ says Credits bought on or after 1 April 2026 are valid for 2 years (event Credits for between 90 days and 2 years) and that Credits bought before then never expire, while the help guide says Credits never expire.

Are SeaArt downloads watermarked?

Neither the tool page nor the pricing page says images carry a watermark. For video they differ: a SeaArt tool page says images, videos and audio come without watermarks, while the pricing page lists watermark-free video download as an SVIP privilege.

Which company operates SeaArt AI?

SeaArt's surfaces name several entities: the site footer reads '© 2026 SeaArt, Inc.' and also shows SUNRISEAI PTE. LTD.; the App Store lists SUNRISEAI PTE. LTD. as the seller; and the copyright policy names STAR CLUSTER PTE. LTD. in Singapore as its copyright agent. The terms and privacy policy refer only to 'we' and do not set out how these entities relate; the terms choose Singapore law with SIAC arbitration.
