Gencraft

Best overall

Draw Things wins only if you absolutely need offline privacy and local training, but it's iOS-only and can be slow on older devices.

Common questions

Which tool is better for making social media posts?

Gencraft is better because it works on your phone, generates images and short videos, and has a Magic Prompt that helps you get good results fast. Draw Things is slower and Apple-only.

Can I use Draw Things on my Android phone?

No, Draw Things is only available on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. If you have an Android phone, choose Gencraft instead.

Is Gencraft free?

Gencraft has a free tier, but it adds watermarks to everything you create. To remove watermarks and get more credits, you need a paid plan that can cost $10–$30 per month depending on usage.

Which tool is more private?

Draw Things is much more private because it runs entirely offline on your device. Gencraft sends your prompts and images to its servers, so your data is not private.

Can I train my own AI model with these tools?

Only Draw Things lets you train custom models (LoRA) locally on your device. Gencraft only offers pre-set styles and doesn't support custom training.

Which tool is easier for a complete beginner?

Gencraft is easier because you just sign up online, type a prompt, and click generate. Draw Things requires downloading an app, choosing a model, and adjusting settings — it's more technical.

Gencraft wins for most people because it's easy, works everywhere, and does both images and videos; Draw Things is only for Apple users who need offline privacy and local training.

If you just want to make cool images and short videos from your phone without fuss, go with Gencraft. If privacy is your top priority and you have an Apple device, Draw Things is a solid free option — just be patient with older hardware.
