Herofab and Modelia, side by side.
Modelia focuses on fashion alone, with editorial-style imagery, a wide range of tools — accessories on a model, pose and outfit tools, video — and a public API from its Creator plan. Herofab's entry plan costs less per month and adds ghost mannequin, product studio scenes and marketplace-ready sizes, with free fixes on every plan. The figures above come from Modelia's pricing page; its separate FAQ page lists different credit costs.

Built for the product page.
Fixed cost per tool
Every tool has one credit cost, shown before you generate — a try-on is always 5 credits, 4K adds one.
Credits back on failure
Credits are held when a job starts and charged only on delivery; a failed job returns them.
Checked before you pay
A photo that shows only the back of a product, or a product still in its packaging, is flagged before a credit is spent.
Free fixes every month
Mark the area that is wrong and describe it; every plan includes free fixes.
Marketplace-ready sizing
Delivered at the exact size of the marketplace you sell on, without cropping the product.
AI marking built in
Every image carries the IPTC marker for AI-generated media inside the file, as the EU AI Act requires.

Each button opens the assistant with the question already written. The answer is the assistant's own; Herofab does not write or see it.
