Monthly credits vs one-time credits
Monthly plans suit steady use inside Adobe apps. If you make images in bursts, credits that reset each billing date go to waste; one-time packs keep their value.
Adobe Firefly sells monthly generative credits that reset each billing date, with partner models like GPT Image and Nano Banana as premium features. Kenerate runs 80+ models, with credits that never expire.
Quick answer

Kenerate is an Adobe Firefly alternative without monthly credit resets.
