Our suggestion based on what it does, not a feature-by-feature comparison.
Make money with it
You could sell AI-generated video ads, product visuals or social clips to local businesses as a freelance service.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Produce social media images and short video ads in-house instead of paying for several separate AI subscriptions
- Offer AI image and video creation to clients as a service, using one tool for many models
Can you use it commercially?
Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
Download a ready-made installer for macOS, Windows or Linux (on macOS you must run one Terminal command to get past Gatekeeper), or use the hosted web version.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Generation appears to run through the MuAPI service, so it likely needs an account and paid credits rather than being fully free
- Advertised as having no content filters, which raises misuse and copyright concerns
- The README is heavily promotional, including a paid white-label upsell
- The macOS app is not notarised, so you must bypass Gatekeeper manually
- Claims of 600+ models, including Sora and Midjourney, are unverified and may depend on third-party terms
