Firefly's value is its Adobe integration and commercially oriented models: generative fill and edits land directly inside Photoshop and Illustrator. As a standalone generator it is less complete than the integration suggests.
Leonardo gives production teams more control than most browser generators, with custom models, a real-time canvas, and upscaling aimed at game and product assets. That flexibility comes with a busier interface.
