6 free images with top models, no card. The catch: 10 credits, a watermark on each, no video.
What it is
Higgsfield is an AI studio for images and video with many top models in one place. This review tests only the free plan.
Our verdict
A free test drive for top image models, not a free studio. 6 images, a watermark on each, no video. Commercial use is allowed by the written terms; the watermark is the real catch for client work.
What $0 gets you
10 credits, no card: Nano Banana Pro (2 credits per image) and FLUX.2 Pro (1 credit). That made 6 images in our test. No video models on free.
The catch
Only 10 credits (6 images), no video on free, and a watermark on every image.

Tools we've put through real work
CoursesEmailFunnels
An entire funnel business on a $0 plan.
What $0 gets you
2,000 contacts, 3 funnels, 1 email campaign with automation, 1 course, and your own domain. No credit card to start.
The catch
One of everything: 1 campaign, 1 course, 1 automation rule. Enough for one real project, not a portfolio.
AI imageAI videoVoiceoverAI voice
Studio-grade AI voice for $0 - as long as nobody pays you for it.
What $0 gets you
10,000 credits a month, the full voice controls, and up to 3 Studio projects. No credit card to start.
The catch
Free output is noncommercial and needs attribution. Monetized use needs Starter at $6/month.
AI videoVoiceover
Text-to-video with AI voices. Free forever, 3 credits a month.
What $0 gets you
3 credits a month, 300 voices across 80+ languages, and 720p watermarked exports. No card to start.
The catch
Our 56-second manual export used 0.33 credits. Regenerating after a four-word edit used another 0.23. The AI builder cost more and clipped the script.
VoiceoverAI voice
A clear voice sample, but not quite a natural delivery.
What $0 gets you
In our account: one downloadable 14-second Madison MP3 from a 179-character script, three Voice Design previews from one generation, and one Voice Changer result. Allowances vary by account and the public table differs.
The catch
Free output is for personal, noncommercial evaluation, not monetized work.
AI videoVideo editingVoiceover
A capable 14-day trial with watermarked exports, file-upload friction and a resolution mismatch in our test.
What $0 gets you
A 14-day trial with three video projects and watermarked exports. The public comparison lists 15 video minutes, 50 generative AI credits, 500 MB storage and a 720p maximum export resolution.
The catch
The trial expires; our downloads carried a watermark, and the public trial comparison lists 720p maximum export resolution.
AI imageAI videoAudio editingVideo editingVoiceoverAI voice
A great transcript-editing workflow with native captions and useful AI tools. The free plan is a strong starting point, but its credits and exports are limited.
What $0 gets you
One media hour per month, 100 AI credits at signup, watermarked 720p exports and a limited trial of stock AI speech.
The catch
720p export with a Descript watermark, plus monthly media time and one-time AI credit limits.
AI app buildingAI website building
Turn a written brief into a playable game or a useful web-app prototype. Free building comes in five daily credits, capped at thirty a month.
What $0 gets you
Five daily build credits, up to thirty a month, plus separate Cloud and app-AI grants. Enough to try a focused idea and see what it builds.
The catch
Our test used a free account without a paid upgrade. Build credits limit how much you can generate and refine.
AI chatAI voice
A free website assistant that declined to invent a policy in our small test.
What $0 gets you
100 messages/month, one website, up to 50 crawled pages, 1,000,000 characters and one seat.
The catch
100 replies is a small monthly budget. A useful answer and one refusal do not establish reliability; review the assistant's answers before customers rely on them.
AI chatAI imageAI video
Multiple models, one shared memory. A real creative-workflow test.
What $0 gets you
Our recording account had 20 monthly credits and could use chat and image generation.
The catch
Monthly credits and daily image limits are separate. Music was unavailable on the tested tier. Video/audio menus are not proof that every option works for free.
AI videoSocial media schedulingVideo editing
Studio hit an export gate. Auto Reels gave us a watermarked download.
What $0 gets you
Four lifetime credits. In our September 28 test, Studio created a preview and Auto Reels delivered one watermarked download.
The catch
Studio export required an upgrade in our test. Auto Reels output carried a watermark. Lifetime credits do not refill monthly. Stock clips follow their source licences. Check third-party rights before publishing.
CoursesDigital products
Start a store without a monthly bill. Selling still has fees.
What $0 gets you
Free Forever is $0/month plus a 5% Payhip transaction fee; payment-processor fees are extra.
The catch
Free to start does not mean free to sell. Native video hosting is a separate $5/month subscription. Unlisted YouTube embeds are not locked-down course protection.
AI app buildingAI website building
From an app idea to a preview you can click and play.
What $0 gets you
A free route for exploring personal, noncommercial app ideas. The recorded account let us create a fictional portal and an arcade-game preview; current signup allowances can change.
The catch
Free is for personal, noncommercial apps. Do not treat a generated preview as production-ready software.
AI video
One sentence became a 14-second film for $0. The free trial downloads with a watermark.
What $0 gets you
10 one-time trial credits. Our nine-credit Film test produced a downloadable, watermarked 14-second MP4.
The catch
One-time trial credits; watermarked downloads and changing characters.
AI videoVideo editingVoiceover
A $0 test turned a script into a night-city video with voice and captions. Download needed a paid plan.
What $0 gets you
Our recording account started with 70 credits and produced an editor preview with voiceover and captions.
The catch
Free editor preview; download required Premium in our test.
AI videoSocial media schedulingVideo editing
Two captioned clips from one video for two credits. Saving and download opened paywalls in our test.
What $0 gets you
Current pricing lists 75 credits per month, 720p rendering, chapters and short videos. Our recorded clipping test used two credits to make two clips.
The catch
Watermark remained. Save Draft and Download opened paid-plan screens in our test.
One prompt made a portrait. It did not test video or character consistency.
What $0 gets you
The public open-model preview made a portrait without signup. The recorded page showed five free previews left that day. Studio generation uses a separate credit balance.
The catch
One portrait does not prove character consistency or paid video, lip-sync, film or motion quality. Our free studio account had zero credits. Other preview routes had mixed results.
A form that follows logic: one answer changes the next question.
What $0 gets you
The recorded account showed Free with 1000 responses per month. Current pricing lists unlimited forms/questions and conditional logic on Free.
The catch
Custom themes, custom endings and adding a logo are paid features in current pricing.
AI app buildingAI website building
A playable game and a client-portal prototype with saved data. The free token budget stopped the build before we returned to finish it.
What $0 gets you
300K tokens per day, capped at 1M per month; public and private projects, hosting and Bolt databases. Free published sites carry Bolt branding.
The catch
300K tokens a day, 1M a month. Branding stays; custom domains cost extra.
AI app buildingAI website building
One prompt built a playable 3D game with real logins in under five minutes. The catch: five credits a day.
What $0 gets you
25 message credits a month (5 a day), up to 5 apps, auth and database included, one-click publish. A full 3D game build cost 3.8 credits.
The catch
Five credits a day caps real work, and your code stays on Base44: editing, export and GitHub are paid.
