Krea compares its new Krea 2 foundation image model to Midjourney, highlighting Krea 2's style control tools (style references with strength sliders and mood boards) and real-time canvas workflow versus Midjourney's queue-based generation. Krea 2 is part of an integrated suite including video, editing, and LoRA training, with a free tier and paid plans starting at $9/month.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://www.krea.ai/blog/krea-2-vs-midjourney:

> Krea 2 ships with two dedicated tools: Style references (S-Refs) — drop one image into the prompt box and Krea 2 extracts palette, line work, texture, lighting, and composition language, then applies them to anything you generate next. Each reference has a strength slider, so you can dial it from a light direction (low strength) all the way to full visual dominance.
