Where to begin

1.0 3 months ago

Comments: Poor. It's unfortunate considering I was convinced by others of the software's positivity. Customer support shows me the customer is a pawn and that's all.

Pros:

Easy to make an account. That's all I can say.

Cons:

Customer support hasn't responded in half a year. My account was disabled for unsaid reason, and I get to use the app. First impressions were terrible from that.

Excellent quality and flexibility, low price.

5.0 2 months ago

Comments: I used the platform to generate the images for the covers of my books, getting the ideal images I was searching for and couldn't generate with other platforms.

Pros:

Exceptional platform. After trying several, this is the best for me in several ways: - it offers countless templates to create high-quality images that range in all possible styles; - it offers many options to edit images, create from others, guaranteeing enormous flexibility to give shape to your ideas; - the site is fast, simple and intuitive despite the numerous options it offers; - the free plan - thanks to many simple and fast ways to earn credits - allows you to create hundreds of quality images per month and to use numerous tools on the platform; - the pro plan - to use many advanced templates - has very fair prices; - the quality of the images and the ability to create from text is excellent.

Cons:

Nothing really. It would be nice to have an introduction on its use, summarizing all the ways to earn credits and use models and tool for newbies. But anyway it's all pretty easy to learn.

NightCafe Review

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: I use NightCafe daily. Some of what I create is simply for fun. Some of it I use to help develop or refine different ideas in my art practice. One nice thing about it is that you don't have to be a prompt guru to get fantastic results. Also, all the different models are fantastic. Pretty much any result you're looking for is possible.

Pros:

Ease of use, variety of models available, ability to earn credits to create things, community challenges

Cons:

I have found anything so far that I really don't like

Nightcafe is cool

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: my experience is very positive: easy to use, excellent comparison with other users, very stimulating regarding the daily challenges and the "tasks" to be able to redeem credits for being able to generate images

Pros:

“NightCafe is the most comprehensive tool on the web for diving straight into the world of AI image generation. You can experiment with different platforms, models, weights, and magical prompts to unleash your creativity. Generative AI isn’t a walk in the park, but NightCafe, besides being very intuitive and easy to use, allows you to view other users’ creations—even with open prompts—and ask for advice in chats. It encourages you to challenge yourself with daily competitions and earn coveted credits by liking artworks or collecting various badges, enabling you to keep creating! A perfect machine for learning, playing, and connecting.”

Cons:

not very updated guides and the lack of official tutorials. it is possible to find them online but having them inside the nightcafe especially at the beginning of the journey could be a good thing

Zero to art in no time flat.

5.0 5 months ago

Comments: They give you the opportunity to start out and learn their system. They give you free credits to keep going until you've learned how to navigate and use the tools provided to make your pieces. Transitioning to pro was easy at that point. Interacting with the community of artists helps alot too.

Pros:

The ease of use and the variety of projects.

Cons:

The learning curve. Learning the lingo of what produces results you want and not garbage.

The best AI generator

5.0 5 months ago

Comments: NightCafe Studio is the best AI generator I've ever used, since I tried many others. NightCafe Studio offers the best user interface and experience by far. It delivers serious tools, which are easy to understand and use as well. You get great value for your money.

Pros:

Nice user interface Easy to use Friendly pricing A great variety of generative models

Cons:

Well, generative AI in general has a certain learning curve and you don't necessarily get want you want at first try.

Easy, fun, and mostly free

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: It's been really fun to learn a new way to be creative. As an artist, it's a mess-free way to get artsy during the lunch break without paints!

Pros:

Easy to use platform and easy ways to be creative without paying. I ended up paying for a lower credit plan once I advanced on the learning curve of AI prompt writing, and now I've splurged for the quarterly subscription. However, with at least 7 easy free credits per day, I am comfortable if I need to stop the subscription one day.

Cons:

I DO wish there was a subscription level where I could pay a one-time annual fee for unlimited platform usage. :/ Another AI platform I use is paid for that way, though NightCafe is far more sophisticated.

Comments: Almost addictive in its simplicity to use, and just how much fun it is.

Pros:

Ease of use and it is free to use. It is fun to create visions from the prompts you enter.

Everything NC has to offer in creating Ai images

Terrible Customer Service, Outdated AI Models, Extreme Censorship, Very Expensive.

1.0 2 years ago

Comments: I deeply regret doing business with NightCafe. It was a complete waste of time and money. In the past 24 hours, I have located several other companies providing far higher-quality images, using updated AI models that give results much closer to the prompts I input. Why on earth did I waste so much at NightCafe?

Pros:

It was easy to download the art created there.

Cons:

In my personal experience, I found a shocking amount of censorship at NightCafe. It went beyond just NSFW or naughty words, into a question of what is "offensive" on a level that is perhaps not really reasonable. In addition, their customer service takes days to respond to basic questions. Their service is much more expensive than their competitors. And they are also NOT VERIFIED with Paypal, so be aware if you need to question a purchase (as I did), Paypal will -not- refund your money. Buyer Beware!

Nightcafe is a must

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

I'm extremely liking the AI art which only requires a prompt and a selection of the art style.

Cons:

It is a little bit wonky at times when it comes to the creation.
