Pixel Dojo vs Stable Horde
The split is pay-per-plan convenience versus free community compute. Pixel Dojo bundles a large library of image and video models behind one plan (140+ models in the current record); Lite is verified at $10/month (official homepage reviewed 2026-11-01). The previous draft's free 50-credit trial, 160-credit allowance, credit rollover and commercial-use terms are withdrawn -- higher tiers and credit scopes beyond the verified tiers were not fully verified. Stable Horde is a free, crowdsourced distributed network, now branded AI Horde: anyone can generate anonymously, and 'kudos' priority is earned by donating GPU time -- it can never be bought, so there is no paywall at all. Queue speed on the Horde depends on volunteer capacity; on Pixel Dojo it depends on your plan. There is no measured quality winner in this review.
