Credit limit nightmare
Great concept, poor execution. Let me explain.
Tier 1: Monthly credits of 250
Initially, it may not seem too bad, until you start generating logos.
Each generation costs 12 credits. It generates 4 logos, which are not of great quality at first, so you need to modify the prompt and click generate again. By doing this, you have already used up 24 credits just by modifying the prompt. It requires a lot of skill in prompt writing to get it right the first time, so you will end up spending a significant amount of credits on modifying prompts.
If you want text logos, be prepared to use up all 250 credits, as the results are not satisfactory.
However, there's a catch:
There are two versions of Logo Diffusion: v1 and v2.
You might think that you can use all your 250 credits on the v2 version, but after generating 25 logos, it will revert back to v1 and prompt you to upgrade!
The v1 version has lower resolution and limited functionality, you can't choose a lot of styles that are available in v2...
Furthermore, you need to use credits for practically everything else:
Upscaling, vectorizing, and background removal.

May 9, 2024Hi arthur197,
Sorry to hear that, and I'd love to explain the process behind the credit limits.
To explain a few points mentioned, generations only cost 3 credits per 1024x1024 image, if you render 4 images at a time that amounts to 12 credits, but if you are testing a prompt, you can choose 1, 2, or 3 images per generation to save on credits.
Text based logos are a recent feature that was added after we made the deal with appsumo, this is why they weren't mentioned in the marketing video or as main features of the app, I've explained in another response that logotypes and monograms have a "beta" tag added to them, since they are still being developed, and will only get better over the next weeks and months.
To clear the issue you mentioned with v1 and v2, our marketing (i.e. all the examples shown on this page and in the video) is all based on Logo Diffusion V1, when the deal was made with Appsumo, V2 was not even in development yet, but we still offered access to both versions to Appsumo users. The limitation you mentioned was based on our 1024x1024 images limit, since they require a GPU 4 times more powerful than the one that generates 512x512 images for v.1, so we had to introduce these limits in order to structure a sustainable lifetime deal, especially since generative A.I requires high-end cloud GPU cluster to run every generation request, as opposed to other non-generative A.I apps which could run on a simple CPU server that costs less than 1% what a high end GPU would cost.
I want to add that v1 development is constantly being worked on(we are on v1.1 already), and we will be adding improvements to it to provide higher quality images while we keep the price at 1 credit per image of 512x512.
Finally, I just want to add that since generative A.I apps are expensive to run, we want to offer a deal that we can actually deliver on instead of dropping the ball after a few months. Regardless, I'm sorry you didn't have a great experience, and I want to emphasize that the app will only get better as we develop our models further, and optimize our app to become faster and more affordable.
