StarryAI

Use it when

You need a quick concept or social still on mobile from a prompt or photo, then you will download into Figma or a feed—not build a design system.

What it does well

• Simple text/photo/emoji → stylized image, with a large style library
• Mobile app plus web create flow; video is on the paid cards
• Sidebar free-account pitch: commercial rights and no watermark
• Starter: 800 image gens/month, 200 Lumens, unlimited 4× upscale, all aspect ratios
• Unlimited Pro: 4,000 fast gens/month, 1,000 Lumens, unlimited standard image gens and upscaling; Pro Max is 12,000 fast and 3,000 Lumens

Skip it when

• You need Lensa (avatar/portrait packs), NightCafe (community challenges), or Midjourney’s studio
• You need Recraft/SVG AI for icons, or Magnific as a dedicated upscaler—4× upscale is a Starter perk
• The pricing page has no Free column. FAQ: 5 watermark-free artworks per day. Homepage still says signup is topped up with 5 lumens (25 images)—treat the FAQ as the daily cap
• Lumens and monthly generation counts are separate meters on paid plans. Lumen packs are discounted 50% on Starter and up

Fits your workflow

Prompt or upload on the phone → generate → download. Use Starter when you need locked aspect ratios and 4× upscale in-app. Keep Pro/Max for unlimited standard gens and larger Lumen pools. Don’t plan a client system around the 5/day FAQ cap.
