Running OpenAI, Google, Kuaishou, ByteDance and ElevenLabs separately means several accounts, several billing cycles and assets scattered across tools. Lilidi AI puts the same flagship models behind one account, one credit balance and one asset library. Pick Separate subscriptions: You live inside a single tool, use it at high volume, and rely on provider specific features that are not exposed through an aggregator. Pick Lilidi AI: You move between image, video and audio, you compare models before committing, or you want one bill and one place where every output lands. Verdict: If a single provider covers everything you do, subscribing directly is reasonable. The moment you need two or more, a single credit balance across models removes the duplicated fixed cost and the copy paste workflow between tools. Accounts to manage: Separate subscriptions — One per provider; Lilidi AI — One.
Billing: Separate subscriptions — Several monthly subscriptions; Lilidi AI — One credit balance. Unused allowance: Separate subscriptions — Each plan's quota is separate; Lilidi AI — Credits spend across any model. Model switching: Separate subscriptions — Copy the prompt between tools by hand; Lilidi AI — Switch model in the picker, prompt and references stay. Asset library: Separate subscriptions — Split across each provider; Lilidi AI — One library with titles, downloads and remix. New models: Separate subscriptions — New account or plan per provider; Lilidi AI — Added to the picker as they ship. Best case for it: Separate subscriptions — You use exactly one model, heavily, every day; Lilidi AI — You compare models or work across image, video and audio. Q: Do Lilidi credits expire? A: Subscription credits reset on renewal. Top up credits are valid for 90 days and are spent oldest
first. Q: Can I start without a card? A: Yes — you can create an account and generate with free starter credits before paying. Q: Which models are included? A: See the full list on the models directory — every model there runs from the same credit balance.
