Recraft vs Savah

Recraft Studio adds third-party generation models on a steady cadence, each announced to the same template: model name, plan, credit price. Seedream 5.0 Pro, Nano Banana 2 Lite and Gemini Omni Flash all landed that way, and Seedance 2.5 is the newest. Around that catalogue Recraft is building the parts a model host cannot supply — the Design Agent, which produces a coordinated set of brand assets saved as a reusable Design Kit, and in-canvas vector editing that closes the round trip to an external editor. Simplified Chinese joined the interface languages in July.

Two speeds. The model catalogue turns over quickly and is largely undifferentiated, since the same third-party engines are available to anyone willing to pay for them. The proprietary layer moves more slowly and is where the direction is: a persistent Design Kit changes the unit of work from one asset to a house style, and vector editing makes generated output a starting point rather than a final answer. Video is now on the same footing as image in the catalogue — 30-second clips at 480p or 720p, priced per generation rather than per second, which is a shift from how earlier video models were metered.

The obvious next step is pulling video into the Design Agent, so a Design Kit covers motion as well as logo, palette and type. Nothing in these entries indicates it yet, and the credit pricing suggests video is still being treated as a separately metered catalogue item.
