Mage

Mage is an AI creation platform run since 2022 by the New York team Ollano, packing 28 image, video, and audio models into a single browser workbench. It does not build foundation models itself; what it builds is the fine-tuning, routing, and product layer. Its strength is breadth and integration rather than the image quality of any single model. It fits creators who want to try many vendors' models side by side on one subscription and reuse the same character across images and clips.

Core capabilities

• Multiple models on one canvas: Flux 2, SDXL, SD3.5, Wan 2.2, GPT Image 2, and Nano Banana 2 switch instantly, joined by fine-tuned lines such as Mango and Cherry, replacing several platform subscriptions
• Character consistency: lock a portrait into an @handle Character and reuse it across images, video, and voiceover, directing up to 8 characters
• Image to video: text-to-video, image-to-video, first and last frames, and native audio are all covered, with Cherry 2 Pro reaching 4–30 seconds at up to 1080p
• Private by default, watermark-free: including on the free tier, generations are visible only to you by default and downloads carry no watermark
• Developer entry points: REST API, a 16-tool MCP, TS/Python SDKs, and ComfyUI nodes that plug into Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor

Where it fits Independent creators plus short-drama and social teams: produce images and short videos in one pass while keeping the same person; model enthusiasts who want to compare base models side by side on the $10 tier; developers embedding generation into their own pipelines through MCP. If your goal is 4K long-form or cinematic photorealism, choose another tool.

Distinct advantages Leonardo and Freepik aggregate models too, but few carry character consistency all the way through to video with sound. Mage's differentiator is running image, video, and audio on one subscription, and documenting which tier makes each model unlimited along with resolutions and unit prices, a level of transparency that sits at the high end for this category.

Editorial assessment Capability earns a 4: feature density, documentation, and ecosystem are all solid. Reputation splits in two, though: Trustpilot gives only 2.4/5, while directory sites give 6.5–7.4/10. Know before you buy: Gems are consumed by model and resolution, the free grant is one-time only and expires in 90 days, the official policy is generally no refunds, and the ToS and the documentation disagree on ownership (the official line is commercial use with no attribution required). Heavy video users are highly satisfied; light users drawn in by “free unlimited” are the most likely to be disappointed.
