Leonardo.Ai alternative · Updated September 24, 2026
The Leonardo.Ai alternative with 65 AI models on one plan
If you've moved from images to short videos and want to swap yourself into viral clips, Bolly is built for that. It starts you on 209 meme templates, swaps your photo into clips with Mix, and runs 65 image, video, audio, 3D and lipsync models on one credit balance.
Why creators switch from Leonardo.Ai to Bolly
- You make more video than images: Leonardo's own models are mostly image models, and unlimited relaxed video starts on the Ultimate plan ($60 a month). Bolly's home is 209 meme video templates, with Mix for swaps and Animate for turning one image into a 5-second video.
- You want to star in viral clips: Leonardo's video editor refines videos you made there. Bolly's Mix starts from a meme template or any TikTok link and swaps in the person from your photo, keeping the moves and the scene.
- Refunds are case by case: Leonardo assesses refund requests manually. Bolly's rule is fixed: a full refund within 7 days of your first payment if you've used less than 10% of your credits.
- Your agent needs API access: Leonardo's MCP connector requires an API key on a separate API plan. Bolly's MCP server and API keys run on the same credits you use in the web app.

Moving from Leonardo.Ai to Bolly
- Images: Replace Phoenix or Lucid with one of Bolly's 13 image models, such as Nano Banana 2, GPT Image 2, Seedream 5, Ideogram 4 or Krea 2, all on one balance.
- Video: Use the families you used on Leonardo, such as Seedance 2.5, Kling 3, Veo 3.1, MiniMax H3 or Wan 3.0, or Bolly Animate to turn one image into a 5-second video. Seedance 2.5 and Veo 3.1 need the Plus plan.
- Audio and 3D: For voice and music use ElevenLabs TTS and music or MiniMax Music 3, and for 3D assets use Rodin 2.5, Meshy 7 or Tripo H3.1, all from the same credits.

Leonardo.Ai alternative: FAQ
Can I use Leonardo's Phoenix or Lucid models on Bolly?
No. Phoenix, Lucid Origin, Lucid Realism and Motion 2.0 are Leonardo.Ai's own models and aren't on Bolly. Bolly's 13 image models include Nano Banana 2, GPT Image 2, Seedream 5, FLUX.2 Pro, Ideogram 4 and Krea 2.
What's a good Leonardo.Ai alternative for meme and TikTok videos?
Bolly is built around that. It has 209 named meme templates, and Mix puts the person from your photo into a template or any TikTok clip with Kling O3 video edit, keeping the moves, the scene and the audio when the clip has sound. Mix clips run 3–15 seconds at about 5 credits per second on Starter or higher.
Do Bolly credits roll over like Leonardo tokens?
Plan credits don't: Bolly's monthly credits refill each month and don't roll over. Top-up credits are different, because they don't expire while you're on a paid plan. Leonardo.Ai banks unused paid tokens up to three months' worth.
Is there a Leonardo.Ai alternative I can use from Claude or Codex?
Bolly has an MCP server and API keys, so you can run its 65 models from Claude, Codex or your own scripts, billed from the same credits as the web app. Leonardo.Ai's MCP connector needs an API key from a separate Leonardo API plan.
