Pros

Direct API pricing 15-30 percent below hosted resellers at volume

Credit-based, 1 credit = $0.01, transparent cost model

Deep Creative Cloud integration (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Express)
Unlimited standard Firefly Image generations on all paid plans
Existing Adobe Creative Cloud subscribers get bonus Firefly credits

Cons

No managed UI, pure API, requires integration work
No free tier, pay-as-you-go from first credit
Cold start higher than fal.ai for spiky workloads

No public API on consumer plans (Enterprise only)
Premium features (video, partner models) consume credits quickly
Clunky UI/UX — redirects to web even inside Photoshop, breaking the integration
