About NightCafe
NightCafe is an AI art generation platform and community. Users can create works with a variety of AI image and video models on the web, take part in daily challenges, and share and connect with other creators. The platform offers a free allowance: you get 5 free credits for each day you log in, plus 3 more credits for entering and voting in the daily challenge; basic Stable Diffusion generation is free and unlimited, while other algorithms and stronger settings consume credits. Paying users (PRO) get more credits and more powerful models. The platform also provides a model comparison page where different text-to-image models can be compared by baseline prompt, credit cost, average generation time, and resolution.
