## ShipRadar verdict

Krea 3 edits a photo in under 8 seconds and changes only the part you ask about, which is the thing people on r/krea and Hacker News say it does better than slower editors like Nano Banana Pro. The catch: trying the actual model isn't free -- Krea gates it behind the $21/month (yearly) Pro plan, and it won't generate an image from a blank prompt, so it's strictly an editor, not a generator.

- Best for: Someone editing a real photo (a product shot, a portrait, a marketing image) who wants to change one detail without the AI redrawing or warping the rest of the picture.
- Not great for: Anyone who wants to type a prompt and get a picture from nothing. Krea 3 is an editing model, not a generator -- Reddit's r/StableDiffusion found it refuses pure text-to-image requests with a message pointing elsewhere.
- Watch out: There's no free way to use the real Krea 3 model inside the app -- Free and Basic plans don't include it, and the '14-day unlimited' offer only starts after you buy an annual Pro or Max plan. The API's pay-per-image pricing is the cheapest door in.
