Tips
150 tokens, 150 images
Your daily pool is about 150 images if you stay on the default 1x1 pipeline. Alchemy 4-up can eat that in a handful of gens, so draft cheap.
Never start with Alchemy
Draft your idea on the default model first. Only switch to Alchemy once composition and prompt are locked and you want the final hero asset.
Prompt Magic V2 on a budget
Prompt Magic V2 costs about 2 tokens and often beats Alchemy for prompt adherence. It is the sweet spot when you need accuracy without the burn.
Batch 4 to narrow down
A 4-up batch costs 4x on the default pipeline but saves time when you are choosing between directions. Use it to narrow down, not to explore blindly.
Free-tier image guidance
On the free tier a single reference with image guidance is just 1 token. Premium multi-reference stacking adds up to 3 to 7 tokens fast.
Top-up tokens need a sub
Purchased top-up tokens do not expire, but they only stay usable while you keep an active paid subscription. Do not buy them for a one-off.
Consistent game props
For game assets, combine an Elements style with Image Guidance to hold props and characters consistent across a whole set.
Leonardo vs Midjourney
Leonardo wins on free daily volume and control features. Midjourney wins on pure out-of-the-box aesthetic, so pick per project.
Workflow ladder
Use the default model, generate 1 image at a time, and apply an Elements preset for style.
Add Prompt Magic V2 for adherence and steer composition with image guidance.
Reserve Alchemy for finals, refine with Canvas inpaint, then upscale the winner.
Frequently asked questions

- What is the cheapest way to test prompts on Leonardo.Ai?
