Stop Wasting Money: I Tested 6 'All-in-One' AI Tools – These Are the Only Ones Worth Using in 2025

If you’re still paying for a single AI video tool like Kling, Runway, Veo 3.1, or even Sora, you’re probably:

• Overpaying
• Missing key features (lip sync, upscaling, voice, music)
• Limiting your creative options

The reality in 2025 is simple: The best creators aren’t using one model. They’re using all-in-one AI platforms that bundle image generation, video generation, lip sync, voice, music, and upscaling under one roof.

So I compared 6 of the biggest all-in-one AI platforms:

1. Freepik AI
2. Artlist AI
3. OpenArt
4. Adobe Firefly
5. Hixfield AI
6. Weevi (Weev.ai)

I scored them across 4 real-world categories: Power (models), Innovation (unique features), Experience (UX), and Value (cost per generation).

Note: This is not sponsored. I’ve worked with or used most of these platforms, but rankings are based on features, models, usability, and price—not partnerships.

📌 The Short Answer (If You’re in a Hurry)

• Best “sweet spot” for creators: 👉 OpenArt or Hixfield
• Best for advanced workflows / power users: 👉 Weevi
• Great but pricey / situational: 👉 Freepik AI
• Only worth it if you’re already in their ecosystem: 👉 Adobe Firefly and Artlist

Now let’s go deep.

1. Power: Which Tool Has the Strongest Models?

“Power” isn’t just about how many models a platform supports. It’s about having the right ones: Top-tier image models (Flux, Nano Banana, Cream) and serious video models (Sora 2, Veo 3.1, Kling, Runway).

🅰 Freepik AI – Strong, Well-Rounded Model Set

Freepik’s AI Suite lets you generate images, video, audio, music, and upscales. It covers 90% of what most creators need.

• Image models: Cream 4.0, Flux (multiple variants), Google’s Nano Banana, Imagen 4, Ideogram, Mystic.
• Video models: Sora, Kling 2.1 & 2.5, Veo 2.5, MiniMax, CSM / Cense.
• Other features: 11Labs integration for voice & music, Lip-sync tools, Topaz Labs upscaling.

Verdict: Very complete. Power Tier: A

🅱 Artlist AI – Solid, but Still Catching Up

Artlist was originally a music and stock footage platform. Now they’ve added AI image, video, and voice, but it feels like an add-on.

• Models: Cling, Seed (SD), Flux Context, Veo 3.1, Sora 2, Kling 2.5.
• Verdict: Artlist has the essentials but fewer advanced models, and some are limited to certain modes.
• Power Tier: B

🅰 OpenArt – Huge Model Library + Custom Models

OpenArt goes wide and deep. It offers massive coverage of both Western and Chinese models, plus custom training.

• Image models: Cream 4.0, Nano Banana, multiple Flux variants, OpenArt PhotoReal, Hunyuan, Kadream.
• Video models: Kling 2.5, CSM / Cense, Sora 2, Veo, Minimax, Pika, Runway.
• Unique feature: You can train your own custom models (characters, influencers).
• Power Tier: A (bordering on S)

🅲 Adobe Firefly – Strong Ecosystem, Weak Model Variety

Adobe Firefly is great inside the Adobe ecosystem, but weaker in terms of model variety. It lacks popular Chinese models like Nano Banana & Cream, and workhorses like Kling.

• Power Tier: C

🅰 Hixfield AI – Focused on the Models That Actually Matter

Hixfield doesn’t overwhelm you with hundreds of models; it focuses on the most useful ones like Hixfield Soul (great for consistency), Cream 4.0, and Flux Context.

• Video: Sora, Veo, Kling 2.5, MiniMax, Cense.
• Verdict: Very balanced: the right models, not just many models.
• Power Tier: A

🅂 Weevi – The Most Powerful, Flexibly-Modeled Platform

Weevi is the power user’s playground. It integrates almost everything: Freepik models, Google models, Flux, Mystic, Stable Diffusion, Luma, and more. Even better, you can import your own models from CivitAI, Replicate, and Fal.ai.

• Verdict: If you want everything and the ability to build your own pipelines, nothing beats Weevi.
• Power Tier: S

2. Innovation: Who’s Actually Doing Something New?

Freepik – Spaces (A Weevi-Style Lite Workflow Builder)

Freepik’s Spaces is a visual workflow builder where you connect prompts → models → upscalers → video. It’s like a simplified Weevi, with some camera controls and basic chaining. Innovation Tier: B

OpenArt – Story Builder & Motion Sync

OpenArt brings genuinely cool features like the Story Builder (full music videos, vlogs with scripts) and Motion Sync with Runway Act 2. Innovation Tier: A

Hixfield – Templates & Popcorn for Beginners

Hixfield shines with Templates (tons of ready-made VFX) and Popcorn, a storyboard-like tool where you upload images and it auto-plans scenes. Perfect for beginners. Innovation Tier: S

Weevi – Node-Based AI Workflows

Weevi is innovation on another level. Its node-based workflow builder is like Figma for AI pipelines. You can combine inputs, reference styles, 3D compositors, and video models in one flow. Innovation Tier: S

---

3. Experience: Which Platform Is Actually Nice to Use?

Raw power doesn’t matter if the tool is a headache to use.

OpenArt – Great Balance (Tier: S)

Clear sidebar, easy switching between tools, and a strong reuse flow (generate → upscale → animate). It fits both beginners and power users.

Hixfield – Friendly & Template-Heavy (Tier: A)

Perfect for beginners who don’t know prompting. It has a library of templates and effects.

Freepik – Polished (Tier: A)

Clean design and strong filtering. Great for upscaling and organizing, though the navigation can be slightly disjointed.

Weevi – Powerful but Overwhelming (Tier: B)

Insanely flexible but has a steep learning curve. It feels like a pro tool for developers and workflow builders.

4. Value: What Does Each Generation Actually Cost?

Forget credits; let’s talk about real money per video.

• Most Expensive: Adobe Firefly and Freepik (especially for Sora 2 Pro).
• Middle Ground: Artlist and Weevi.
• Best Value: OpenArt and Hixfield. They consistently offer the best balance of cost across top models like Sora, Veo, and Kling, especially on yearly plans.

🧠 Final Verdict: Which All-in-One Tool Should You Use?

Let’s simplify everything.

🟢 If You’re a Beginner / Content Creator

Best Picks:

• Hixfield: Most beginner-friendly with templates and prebuilt effects.
• OpenArt: Next-level once you understand basic prompts.

🟡 If You’re a Serious Creator / Power User

Best Pick:

• OpenArt: Best balance of Power + Price + UX.

🔴 If You’re a Builder / Workflow Nerd

Best Pick:

• Weevi: Nothing else comes close to its node-based control.

⚪ If You’re Deep in Adobe or Artlist Already

Stick with Firefly or Artlist AI for convenience, but don’t expect them to replace dedicated AI powerhouses just yet.
