Montagea as a Krea alternative
Krea is a broad creative platform: its own image models, real-time generation and a very long list of video models, with an agent open on every plan. Montagea is narrower and built around making films.

Pro models need a subscription or a credit pack. |

What Montagea does differently
- Built around a film: a work is split into scenes, other creators can make the shots, and Gigi edits them with music, voice-over and subtitles.
- Every model is run on the same prompts and published side by side.
- MiniMax H3 at 720p and Qwen-Image 2.1 come with a daily free allowance.
Moving over from Krea
- Sign up with Google or email; new accounts start with a free credit grant.
- Pick the video model you used in the Playground: Seedance 2.5, MiniMax H3, Veo 3.1, Wan 3.0, Gemini Omni and Runway Gen-4.5 are all here.
- Paste your prompts as they are; first frames and reference images work the same way.
